Eight Hundred and Twenty-One Battles at the Other End

On the other side of the bridge, the front-line soldiers of the Soviet army, which had begun to rout, were approaching one of the necessary routes for their retreat. If it is crazy to say that Renn took two tanks to attack on the bridge, the No. 111 tank here and a tank in the second row can only be exhausted.

One kilometer in front of them, there are already piles of burning tank wreckage. Some of these Soviet tanks are outdated T-26 tanks and some are advanced T-34 tanks. They want to approach and retake the bridge. Proving that their efforts were futile.

Soviet soldiers flocked to the German positions like the tide, and the German positions also withstood the test of the tide. In the attack like waves, they were as tough as reefs and remained motionless under the beating of the waves. The German machine gun positions efficiently slaughtered the Soviet troops rushing onto the road. In some places, the corpses of Soviet soldiers have even begun to pile up the second layer.

"This is not good! We need support! I have run out of grenades, and they are still attacking. Damn it!" Tank 111 was left on the side of the bridge. The original plan was to defend it a little, but unexpectedly The Soviets came so fast and fought so hard to escape.

Because of the internal structure of a Tiger tank, the ammunition that can be carried is actually not too much. The German Tiger tank in another time and space is square and square, and the road wheels use an advanced torsion bar structure, so it can hold more ammunition. Lots of ammo.

It's a pity that the driving members of Tiger tanks in this generation have enjoyed different treatment. Their tanks have better bullet-avoiding appearance and more practical speed and off-road performance. Generally speaking, the defense performance has improved a lot, and the reliability It has also been raised to a new level... But the price is that the shock absorber structure used by this tank is relatively outdated, which takes up a lot of space inside the tank, which makes the tiger tank carry less ammunition than the leopard tank.

Because it is mainly for anti-tank operations against enemy tanks, the shells of the Tiger tank are mainly armor-piercing shells, especially since the tungsten alloy armor-piercing shells are available-this limits the total amount of howitzer shells carried by the Tiger tank , the aspect of dealing with infantry has not improved much.

In fact, this defect is not a fatal weakness under the same conditions, and in the subsequent improvement of the King Tiger tank, the Christie shock absorber of the Tiger tank was replaced by the torsion bar shock absorber that has matured and will be used for decades to come. King Tank saves a lot of interior space.

But it is a pity that the soldiers of the 502 Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion have not yet used a better Tiger King tank, so they must use the Tiger tank to face the almost endless attacks of Soviet infantry and tank troops. There may be thousands or even tens of thousands of people on the other side. It is obviously too heavy for an attack of this scale to be placed on the shoulders of hundreds of German soldiers.

The No. 111 tank team, which was located relatively forward, fired its last grenade, and then had to retreat from the bushes where it was hiding, because the more and more accurate artillery fire from the Soviet tanks had begun to threaten it.

Shifting positions is the best option tank 111 can choose.

The only tank in the 2nd platoon that followed Rennes to the bridge, at this moment, I am probably very envious of those companions who broke down on the way. After all, they don’t have to fight on such a fierce battlefield. very happy thing.

In order to cover the retreat of the No. 111 tank, the Tiger tank was also firing frequently, and an armor-piercing projectile accurately hit a T-34 tank that was about to rush up. However, the shells fired by the 76mm cannon on another t-34 tank also penetrated the mound and hit the front armor plate of this 2-row Tiger tank.

"No. 111. I was hit! My hull was hit." In the headset, the captain of the Tiger tank in the second row screamed nervously. He knew that he had not been penetrated, but the sound echoed in the The clanging sound inside the car body really made everyone extremely nervous.

In the tanks of World War II, there was no very easy-to-use fully automatic automatic fire extinguishing device, and the probability of those automatic fire extinguishers being useful is actually very small. A tank that has been pierced through its armor is prone to martyrdom. In most cases, the occupants of the tank will either jump out of the vehicle and flee immediately, or they will be roasted into a pile of coke.

The chance of escape is not without, it's just a little short. In a matter of minutes, you have to open the hatch, get out of the tank, and then dodge the oncoming bullets to jump out of your tank and find a suitable place to hide-not an easy task.

Therefore, if the tank crew in World War II was hit, the first reaction was to jump out of the tank and escape. In this case, if you are frequently hit by shells, it will greatly affect your judgment at that moment when you are penetrated.

If you are not very confident in your tank, the first reaction of the tank team in the second row may be to abandon the vehicle. However, they are also cautiously backing up now, hoping to leave the dangerous bunker.

Two German tanks moved back, proving that the German defensive position was compressed, and some German soldiers defending in foxholes are now having a harder time. They were hit hard by the dense Soviet bullets, and Soviet troops began to approach the core of the German defensive positions.

Above the sky, a Stuka 2 attack aircraft swooped down, and its two 20mm cannons protruded their fiery tongues along the crowd of Soviets attacking. The shell hit the ground, forming two straight lines of rubble flying through the crowd, leaving two slender trails of blood.

This Stuka 2 plane flew back from the bridge. It finished throwing the ammunition it carried and was preparing to return. When it saw the fierce battle on the bridge, it used a dive and a machine gun to have a bloody battle. The standard scrubbing mode of the attack aircraft. Yes, washing the ground, washing the ground with blood and soul, turning those once-living lives on the ground into dust and mud, what an appropriate adjective, what a vivid metaphor.

"It's overdue! It's been delayed until now!" The commander of tank No. 111 looked relieved when he watched the Soviet attack collapse in front of him. He didn't know how long his defense line could last, and how long it would take for those distant reinforcements to arrive.

It hasn't waited for everyone to rest enough-of course, in this case, no one will feel that they have rested enough. If possible, everyone hopes that they can rest for three days and three nights or more. The Soviet attack started again, and this time they had many more tanks coming along the road, and then a new round of attacks started again.

Although they are not the elite of the Soviet army, these troops have a strong desire to escape, so they attack overwhelmingly, hoping to open a way of escape so that they can escape. In order to keep themselves alive, human beings can often burst out more powerful forces, so these Soviet troops, which are not the main force, still play a rhythm that makes the German army a headache.

"Boom!" Another armor-piercing projectile hit the target, and a Soviet tank caught fire and exploded. The occupants were lucky this time, jumped out of the tank and fled. Another tank passed the wreckage of this tank and continued to attack the German position.

"Damn! We need reinforcements! We need shells and more tanks." The tank commander of the second row shouted loudly in the headset. There are less than 20 shells left in his tank. If the opponent continues to attack, the German tanks may be forced to withdraw from the battle because they are about to run out of ammunition.

"Boom!" At this time, a shell hit the back of the Soviet tank, and the huge explosion lifted the tank up. This sudden attack made the Soviets a little confused, because they all saw the attack coming from them. behind.

"I think you need reinforcements?" A familiar voice sounded in the earphones of the tank commander in the second row.

"They're back!" The commander of tank No. 111 yelled in the headset, and the other tanks in the second row rushed out from behind the Soviet attacking troops. The four tanks also brought a few armored vehicles. Like a knife, it cut into the Soviet army.

"Haha! Welcome back to the team!" The tank commander of the 2nd platoon, who had been somewhat desperate just now, laughed presumptuously at this time: "We will cover your wings, and you can come to us as quickly as possible."

"I don't think we need your support at all. We have our own support troops behind us." On the other side, the 4 tanks that broke down and left the team along the way accompanied a large number of German grenadiers to attack forward along the kilometer. Most of the Soviet troops disarmed and surrendered. After all, the feeling of being surrounded was not very comfortable. Being flanked by two sides was obviously not a situation that the Soviet troops could handle.

"Ren! The stragglers have arrived! There are nine tanks!" The commander of tank No. 111 was overjoyed, and he did not forget to give good news to Ren and others who were fighting hard on the bridge.

"Then if you're not busy, come and help us! There are too many Soviets! Our attack is not going well." Ren didn't speak, and Marcus' voice came from the earphone. It seemed that they played very hard, because Marcus, who has never been nervous, seemed a little flustered when he spoke.

Looking at his ammunition that was about to run out, the crew of car No. 111 seemed a little helpless. He had to press the communicator in his throat and replied again: "My ammunition is almost exhausted, so I can't help you right away."

"This is really good news." Marcus said with a wry smile: "Because our situation is similar, the ammunition is almost...run out! Hey...the right, someone on the right is firing at me!"
