Chapter 1332 Ice Storm (I)

The German army on the battlefield certainly didn't know what kind of situation they were in, what kind of danger was approaching them, and what their opponents were doing.

The heavy King Tiger and the assault guns that were responsible for fire suppression were still firing crazily, bringing the advantages of the German main guns in effective range and accuracy to the extreme.

The Panthers, as the spearhead of the attack, led the infantry and half-track vehicles to advance forward, and they were in full swing under the direct support of the heavy firepower of the King Tiger!

Until now, the German army has not given up its tactical goals and believes that it has a great advantage. With the advantages in technical equipment and manpower, it will be able to quickly eliminate the small Soviet medium tank units that are blocking the way.

Lavrinenko told Malashenko that he would stick to it, and in fact, Lavrinenko did so. But the dangerous situation he is facing now has indeed made Lavrinenko feel powerless.

The main force in the middle, led by Lavrinenko, has indeed joined Alexi's reconnaissance force, and the two forces have now joined forces.

But the problem that followed was that the German offensive was quite fierce and had formed a fierce posture of holding on to the enemy.

The central German army responsible for the main attack certainly knew that their opponents wanted to run away, but the ultimate purpose of this trip was to completely annihilate the Soviet troops who were the enemy in front of them. After spending so much effort and making such a big posture, if the enemy ran away with absolute superiority, wouldn't it be a loss of face and money?

One wanted to get out of the battle as soon as possible, shrink the defense, and gather limited forces together to continue fighting, while the other was to hold on to the current situation and not let go, for fear that the duck in the mouth would fly away.

Lavrinenko initially tried to command the troops to fight and retreat, but it didn't take long to find that this was not feasible.

In order to prevent the opponent from escaping, the German army in front of them was like a mad dog, sending out all the high-speed medium tanks and rushing up to attack desperately.

The enemy's infantry-tank coordinated offensive was wave after wave, and Lavrinenko could not get away, so he could only deploy all the troops at hand to block the enemy's attack.

To be honest, it is not enough to die on the spot if you can't run away or retreat. As long as you can barely hold on, there is still a glimmer of hope.

But if the Germans tear open the defense line and break in, then Lavrinenko is sure that all the people around him and the troops at hand will not be able to run away!

Since you can't retreat, you might as well hold on to the end. A glimmer of hope is worse than a dark sky without any hope. At this moment, Lavrinenko's idea is so simple.

"Hold the front, comrades! You must hold it! Comrade Division Commander and the main force are very close, they will be here soon! Victory will belong to the Red Army!"

Lavrinenko, holding a radio transmitter, cheered everyone up, and the passionate slogans turned into radio waves and spread to every corner of every tank and vehicle. At this moment, none of the determined soldiers complained.

The Germans, who wanted to win a quick battle, invested more powerful forces, and one after another Black Panther covered the infantry behind them and rushed towards the position.

The weak No. 4 was even reduced to an unnoticed foil at this moment. After several battles, the German army also clearly knew that the enemy in front of them was not so easy to deal with. Using No. 4 as the spearhead of the attack would only increase casualties, so all the Black Panthers were gathered together and condensed into a powerful high-speed assault force to rush forward.

The Tiger King in the rear was firing desperately with the long range and high accuracy of its powerful main gun. The armor-piercing shells, which seemed to have eyes, whistled with sharp wind-breaking sound, and blew medium tanks one after another into the sky in the strong ammunition explosion and waves of fire.

The longer the battle lasted, the more Lavrinenko, who had been fighting in his position as the tank commander, could personally experience the power of the hideous and huge German new heavy tanks.

From the beginning to now, except for the occasional missed shots, every armor-piercing shell from those terrible monsters could blow a Red Army medium tank into the sky.

Every armor-piercing shell based on the premise of hitting would cause a terrible killing effect. Whether it was the T3485 or the latest T43 medium tank, the front of the hull or the turret armor, all could not withstand the fatal blow from those hideous monsters.

Once the armor was accurately hit and there was no large-angle ricochet, being penetrated on the spot and a strong ammunition explosion were the only inevitable results.

It is true that not all medium tanks that were penetrated would explode, but Lavrinenko has not seen any surviving crew members crawling out of those medium tanks that were penetrated and saved their lives.

It is not entirely true to say that all the crew members died, but this at least shows that the armor-piercing shells did indeed hit the tanks, fired the projectile warhead charge, and produced aftereffects.

In this case, even if someone is still alive, it is estimated that they are seriously injured. Losing arms and legs and bleeding is predictable. Such a powerful armor-piercing power is what surprised Lavrinenko the most.

"Comrade commander! Those German heavy tanks are too threatening. Should we deal with them!?"

The gunner's loud question brought Lavrinenko back to reality. Lavrinenko, who briefly thought about the next countermeasure in his mind, raised his head and glanced at the German heavy tanks at least 800 meters away through the commander's periscope in front of him. It was really difficult to make up his mind and give orders immediately. Hesitation suddenly arose in his heart.

"Have you seen this acceptance list? The Tiger II heavy tank mentioned above, which I call the King Tiger, is very difficult to deal with. If you encounter it on the battlefield, you must be more careful!"

"This broken car has a very powerful main gun and almost indestructible frontal armor. If you are not close to within 300 meters, Lavrinenko, don't make any unnecessary attempts. Like all German tanks, this thing's weakness is its vertical armor part, but that is only on the front of the turret. The area is very small, difficult to aim, and there is a pig nose gun shield in the way."

"Oh, or there is another In one case, the turret looks more like our T34, but it is a different turret configuration with a semi-arc turret front edge. In short, the weaknesses of both vehicles are the parts on the left and right sides of the turret. When you actually see it, you will know what I mean by my description. Remember what I said to you. "

"Don't ask me how I know this. Anyway, I know that the reason is not important! Only the result is the most important! You are my brother, one of the people I trust the most, so I will tell you these words, and you don't have to repeat the cause and effect to others. It's unnecessary. Just pass on what to do, it's that simple."
