After the firelight and gunpowder smoke completely dissipated, all that was left in the air was the strange smell of blood, gunpowder, burnt smell, and earthy smell mixed together.
As for the German soldiers who were still running wildly just now, there is now only a pool of rotten blood and flesh and broken limbs left in place. Even the No. 4 tank can be taken away with one shot, and the unambiguous 122 mm full
The caliber high-explosive grenade is so powerful that it goes without saying that the effect it has on people is undeniable.
Directly using the main gun to bombard the infantry is indeed more powerful than machine gun fire, which naturally meets Kulbalov's expectations.
There are no moving and escaping German soldiers within the field of view of the commander's periscope. There may be some lucky ones who were just knocked unconscious, but that doesn't matter. That land and the victory of this battle will soon be over.
It belongs to the Red Army. When cleaning the battlefield, it is not difficult to check whether there are any fish that have slipped through the pile of German corpses.
"Comrade division commander, a main gun salvo opened fire and killed at least one regiment of German devils!"
Kulbalov was obviously in high spirits, his words were full of joyful, cheerful and exciting syllables, and he even joked directly with Malashenko on the other end of the radio.
Hearing that Kulbalov was in such high interest, Malashenko, who was slightly behind, also witnessed the whole process. He was very satisfied with Kulbalov's command and immediately grinned.
"Well, I've seen it all. But don't be too happy. There are more Germans ahead. Let the infantry get on the vehicles and continue the attack! Today's battle is not over yet!"
The tens of thousands of German troops fleeing did not form a long queue. After fighting all the way, Malashenko found that the Germans interestingly divided their fleeing troops into several smaller groups.
Batch.
After destroying this wave, there is another wave of Germans not far ahead waiting for him to deal with. Although he has chased defeated enemies before, this is the first time for Malashenko to encounter such a situation. Now he cannot help but
Feeling a little curious.
What specific purpose does this weird tactic of the Germans have? Or is it for some reason that you don’t know?
This may be the case, and various possibilities cannot be ruled out now.
But as for what the truth is, we can only wait until Malashenko has finished the battle, wiped out all the Germans, and ended the battle, then we will have time to think carefully and carefully investigate the cause and effect and the ins and outs.
The roaring and roaring IS6 heavy tanks quickly set off again according to the order of the division commander. This round of attack, which did not last long, did not consume much ammunition and fuel. For the strong and durable Red Army tanks, it was still enough.
live.
The time now is half past two at noon. A war is one of those things where you feel like it hasn't passed that long and it's still early, but in fact time flows much faster than you think and a long time has passed.
Malashenko, who felt that he had not dealt with the Germans properly, looked at the time on his watch and felt a little worried about the upcoming battle today.
However, this is not due to the question of whether he can beat this kind of battle, but the worry of whether there is enough time.
"I guess there won't be enough time left today. It would be great if these German guys could know better and surrender quickly."
Malashenko expected that everything would be completed within one day today, but the current progress seems to be far behind the earlier expectations, and there is a high probability that it will not be completed.
At this point in the war, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current German army has no hope of making a comeback. If it continues like this, it will just be a meaningless move that will increase casualties for both warring parties.
The rescue force commanded by Manstein's old fox was firmly blocked by the Ukrainian Second Front from outside the core encirclement of Cherkasy. However, in the war-torn Cherkasy theater, there were still strong combat forces.
The 1st Ukrainian Front, which had elite elite units such as Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division, held all the surrounded German troops in the encirclement and beat them violently.
In other words, even if the currently besieged German troops can break through the encirclement of the First Ukrainian Front, tear a hole through the Cherkasy steel encirclement and barely escape. The peripheral Ukrainian Second Front, which has already been able to free up some of its troops, will
You can still intercept them according to the needs of the battle situation and try to block their path.
Moreover, the German troops who broke out were short of food and oil, and their mechanization level was as low as freezing point. By that time, most of the German troops might have to run wildly on their own two feet to fight for their own lives.
What was chasing behind was the Soviet ace unit with a high degree of mechanization like Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division. If the two legs of the German superman could outrun the iron pulleys of the Red Army tanks, then the infantry and tank race would not be the same.
This is something you can try.
It's a pity that the earth is not the planet Anton. There are no German supermen, only ordinary German infantry. You can't even think about running across the tracks with two legs.
"These Germans should all surrender immediately. If they go to the prisoner-of-war camp one day earlier, they can settle down and avoid worrying about their lives all day long."
The garbage time with nothing to do is very suitable for talking nonsense. The small tea party of the No. 177 train crew quietly started again.
"Then you can call the commander of these Germans and tell them, are you looking for death? If you don't want to die, just put down your weapons and surrender. Grandpa Iushkin can reward you by coming over to shine your shoes and tie a strip around your neck.
If the dog leash is used as a pet, maybe the German guy will be scared to death and surrender immediately, hahahahaha..."
Malashenko, who had eliminated a large number of German sticks and suffered minimal losses, was now in a good mood. There was probably nothing more satisfying than playing the role of a hunter, chasing down a fleeing prey.
But when he was in a good mood, he naturally started to talk nonsense. Comrade Lao Ma returned to the turret and started talking directly with Iushkin, who was the first to speak.
"Haha, that's a good idea. I want to do it too, but it's a pity that we don't have a phone line that can connect to the Germans."
Before Iushkin finished speaking, Artem, who was leaning next to the first ammunition rack at the rear of the turret, also joined the conversation.
"Hey, but you can still wait until the war is over to call the German commander over and ask him to clean your shoes and then tie a dog leash around his neck as a pet. I think it would be appropriate to tie it at the door of the division toilet.
Krauts and that place have a natural affinity for each other, no kidding."
