Compared to the impatience of gunner Klink, Wittmann, who was ranked as the world's third armored ace in the history of human armored warfare, was much calmer like an experienced hunter.
"Why are you anxious? Relax, Klink. If you fire now, one by one of those Ivans will definitely turn their guns around to bombard us. And we are at best just an ambush team that has separated from the main position, not for
It’s hard to have sex with Ivan’s large army, so you must wait for the last perfect opportunity!”
After hearing the order from Wittmann as the commander, Klink put his head back to the gun mirror again in frustration and could only continue to do his own job at the moment.
On the main battlefield on the other side, Malashenko, who had no idea that there was a German assault gun squad ambushing less than 300 meters away from his flank, immediately returned to his duties as commander of the vehicle after putting all the accompanying infantrymen down.
Come to work and continue to direct the battle.
"Move forward at a steady speed in first gear, Seryosha. Everyone remains alert. The Germans must have more than one anti-tank gun. The one just now was just a test at best..."
Boom boom boom——
Before Malashenko, who was giving orders to his crew members, had finished speaking, another burst of intensive anti-tank gunfire from the German position not far away suddenly overshadowed his words.
Just as Malashenko had guessed, the German anti-tank gun that fired first at his car was actually just a test fire.
So far, the German front-line anti-tank artillery unit has not yet had a complete parameter report of the Soviet T34 tanks because the march was too fast and there was no time to conduct target shooting experiments on the few T34 tanks that had been captured.
Weakness Analysis Atlas.
Where is the weak point on the front of the T34 tank? How many meters can it be approached to achieve an effective absolute destruction distance when attacking from high and low? These extremely important information in battle are almost unknown to the German front-line anti-tank artillery units.
.
Facing the steel torrent composed of the opponent's Soviet T34 tank army as the vanguard force, the German front-line anti-tank artillery unit can only rely on its own strength in the battle, and fire without absolute certainty to test whether it can effectively attack.
The penetration is the best evidence of the current dilemma faced by the German anti-tank artillery unit.
However, the cruel facts once again greatly disappointed the German armored soldiers who had high hopes for their anti-tank guns.
Since we have realized in several previous battles that our own PAK36 37mm anti-tank gun has no effect at all when dealing with the Soviet T34 tank, even if it is close to the extreme distance of more than ten meters and fires at close range.
At most, it's just a stepping stone.
Therefore, the anti-tank guns currently deployed on the first defensive position of the German Army's Adolf Hitler Guards Division are all the most advanced and armor-piercing PAK38 60-caliber 50 mm anti-tank guns in the German army's equipment sequence.
But even these are already the best equipment among the current German Army's standard anti-tank guns, but they once again failed to achieve success in the current close-range shooting where the offensive and defensive sides have shortened the distance to less than 300 meters.
The PZGR.39 full-caliber capped armor-piercing projectiles fired by these PAK38 50mm anti-tank guns during a burst of muzzle shaking almost all accurately hit their respective targets without exception. The capped armor-piercing projectiles equipped on the impact fuse of the warhead itself
The cap also shattered as it should after contacting the front main armor of the T34 tank, providing a good centering effect for the subsequent armor-piercing warhead itself.
But even so, the armor-piercing projectiles of these small water tube anti-tank guns with a caliber of only 50 mm still failed to penetrate the main armor belt of any T34 tank, and even directly generated ricochet missiles and were bounced away far away.
After the muzzle flash and gunpowder smoke dissipated, they saw through the binoculars in their hands that none of the more than ten salvoes of armor-piercing shells from our side were effective. The German anti-tank gun team was so desperate that they even had the urge to curse.
"That's bullshit! I didn't join the army just to tickle Soviet tanks! What's the use of these bullshit anti-tank guns? Those idiots who invented them should be brought here to see the ricochet craters on Soviet tanks!
"
He was vomiting extremely bad curses, but still loaded the next shell into the barrel with his hands flying and continued to aim it at the target, preparing to shoot again, but this time before these German anti-tank gun groups opened fire again, they kept moving forward at a constant speed.
However, the Soviet T34 tank group, which had barely reached the need to stabilize the gun body for firing, took the lead in launching a counterattack.
Boom boom boom boom——
A burst of high-explosive shell fire from the T34 tank's 76.2mm main gun exploded on the German position almost in the blink of an eye, followed by a death-like scream.
Although sufficient temporary protective bunkers for anti-tank guns had been dug before the war and the front projection area of the gun body was reduced as much as possible to minimize the chance of being hit, the Soviet 76mm Soviet 76mm guns with a killing radius of 100,000 square meters are now pouring in.
High-explosive bombs don't pay attention to these principles.
The violent explosions carried shrapnel flying in all directions, like a meat grinder, tearing all the fragile flesh within the affected area into pieces. The German anti-tank guns were even twisted into twists under the impact of the powerful explosion.
The wheels were blown far away, and various human fragments and fleshy remains with missing arms and legs were scattered all over the entire position like an uncleaned slaughterhouse.
After just this wave of T34 tank main gun salvos, the German anti-tank gun team deployed on the first defensive position on the front line was destroyed by more than 4 guns.
Even though Adolf Hitler's Guards Division, as the Führer's Guards Corps, had the best and most equipment and priority for replenishment among the SS and even the entire German Army, five anti-tank gun groups were wiped out within five minutes of the start of the war.
The speed of loss is something no one can withstand.
Looking at the German anti-tank gun teams in his gun scope who were still fighting stubbornly on the first line of defense, Malashenko, who turned the turret steering gear in his hand to find the next target, felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart.
.
It is unknown so far. Malashenko, who has knocked out two German PAK38 50mm anti-tank guns with his own hands, has still not seen even a single trace of the German FLAK36/37 88mm anti-aircraft gun.
It was understandable that the small German vanguard unit in the previous village raid did not carry a slow-moving heavy weapon such as an 88mm anti-aircraft gun, but in this kind of military-level battle, the German army in a defensive posture did not use the 88mm.
If the millimeter anti-aircraft gun, an artifact known as the "anti-all gun", could be used against him, Malashenko, as a later time traveler, would not believe it no matter what.
