Chapter 1450 Unable to Line Up
After the flames and smoke completely dissipated, the only thing left in the air was a strange smell of blood, gunpowder, burnt and earthy.
As for the German soldiers who were still running wildly, only a pool of rotten blood, rotten flesh and broken limbs were left. The 122mm full-caliber high-explosive grenade that could take down even the Type 4 tank with one shot was so powerful that the effect of bombarding people was naturally needless to say.
Directly calling the main gun to bombard the infantry did have a far greater power than machine gun strafing, which naturally met Kulbarov's expectations.
There were no German soldiers moving and fleeing in the field of view of the commander's periscope. Maybe there were lucky ones who were just stunned, but it didn't matter. That piece of land and the victory of this battle will soon belong to the Red Army. When cleaning the battlefield, it is not difficult to check whether there are any fish that have escaped from the pile of German corpses.
"Comrade, the division commander, a round of main gun salvo fired, killing at least one regiment of German devils!"
Kurbalov was obviously in high spirits, his words were full of joy, joy, and excitement, and he even joked with Malashenko on the other end of the radio.
Hearing Kurbalov's high spirits, Malashenko, who was a little further back, also witnessed the whole process just now. He was very satisfied with Kurbalov's command and grinned immediately.
"Well, I saw it all. But don't be happy too early, there are more Germans ahead, let the infantry get on the car and continue the attack! Today's battle is not over yet!"
The fleeing team of tens of thousands of German troops was not lined up in a long line. After fighting all the way, Malashenko found that the Germans very interestingly divided their fleeing team into several small groups.
After destroying this wave, there is another wave of Germans waiting for him to deal with not far ahead. Although Malashenko has chased defeated enemies before, this is the first time he has encountered such a situation. He can't help but feel a little curious.
What is the purpose of the Germans' strange tactics? Or is there a reason that he doesn't know?
Maybe it will be like this, and all possibilities cannot be ruled out now.
But as for what the truth is, only after Malashenko finishes this battle, gets rid of all the Germans, and ends the battle, will he have time to think about it and carefully investigate the cause and effect and the whole story.
The 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 sturdy and durable Red Army tanks, it can still withstand it.
The time is now 2:30 in the afternoon. Fighting is the kind of thing that you feel that time has not passed for a long time and it is still early, but in fact, the flow of time is much faster than you think, and it has been a long time.
Feeling that he had not yet dealt with the Germans properly, Malashenko looked at the time on his watch and was somewhat worried about the next battle today.
However, this was not because of the question of whether he could win, but because of the worry of whether there was enough time.
"I guess the remaining time today is not enough. It would be great if these Germans could surrender quickly."
Malashenko expected to finish everything within one day today, but the current progress is actually quite different from the earlier expectations, and it is highly likely that it will not be completed.
At this point in the battle, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the current German army has no hope of turning the tables, and continuing to waste time like this is just a meaningless move that will only increase casualties on both sides of the war.
The rescue troops commanded by the old fox Manstein were firmly blocked by the Second Ukrainian Front outside the encirclement of the Cherkasy core and could not advance an inch. In the Cherkasy theater, the First Ukrainian Front, which was strong and had elite troops such as the Stalin Guards First Tank Division under its command, was able to press all the encircled German troops into the encirclement and beat them violently.
In other words, even if the encircled German troops could break through the encirclement of the First Ukrainian Front and tear a hole in the Cherkasy steel encirclement to barely escape. The Second Ukrainian Front, which had been able to spare some troops, could still intercept them and try to block their way according to the needs of the war.
Moreover, the German troops that broke out were short of food and oil, and their mechanization level was as low as freezing. At that time, most of the German troops might have to run for their lives on their own feet to fight for a little bit of insignificant life.
And the Soviet ace troops with a high degree of mechanization, such as the Stalin Guards First Tank Division, were chasing them from behind. If the two legs of the German Superman can outrun the iron wheels of the Red Army tanks, then the infantry and tank races are worth a try.
Unfortunately, the Earth is not Anton Star. There are no German Superman, only ordinary German infantry. Don't even think about expecting two legs to outrun the tracks.
"These Germans should surrender immediately. The earlier they go to the prisoner-of-war camp, the earlier they can settle down and avoid worrying about their lives all day long."
It is very suitable to use the idle garbage time to brag and talk nonsense. The tea party of the No. 177 crew quietly began again.
"Then you can call the commander of these Germans and ask them if they are looking for death. If you don't want to die, then quickly put down your weapons and surrender. Grandpa Iushkin can reward you to come and shine shoes, tie a dog leash around your neck as a pet, and maybe the Germans will be scared and surrender immediately, hahahahahahaha"
Malashenko, who has killed a lot of German sticks and suffered minimal losses, is also in a good mood. I am afraid that there is nothing more refreshing than playing the role of a hunter and chasing a fleeing prey.
And in a good mood, he naturally became unsavory. Comrade Lao Ma, who returned to the turret, directly chatted with Iushkin, who spoke first.
"Haha, this is a good idea. I want to do this too. Unfortunately, we don't have a telephone line that can connect to the Germans."
Before Iushkin finished speaking, Artyom, who was leaning against the first ammunition rack at the rear end of the turret, also joined the conversation.
"Hey, but you can still call the Kraut commander over after the battle, have him clean your shoes and put a leash around his neck as a pet. I think it's appropriate to tie him to the door of the division toilet. The Krauts and that place have a natural smell, no kidding."
