Chapter 1730 The Most Unlucky

As the saying goes, if you want to die, you must die, and you can't blame others. The group of German soldiers who were deliberately left behind to buy time have already gone to heaven. The speed at which they were annihilated can almost be described as "shocking the German commander for a hundred years."

"Encol! Answer me! Encol!!! Damn it, is there anyone who can hear me! Answer me, hello! hello!!!"

Blind sound, there was only endless blind sound and pure electric current noise in the radio channel, and there was no human voice answering that was expected to appear quickly.

Obviously, the small German army unit left behind had been beaten to death by the Russians. Even if not all of them died, they had to lay down their weapons and surrender. In short, these two situations were equivalent to the destruction of the troops, and there was not much difference.

The desperate nightmare did not end there, and more terrifying news was still coming one after another.

"The Russians are catching up! They are too fast, Schlauen! The blocking troops didn't cause any interception to them and are already firing at us!"

The rear guard troops were the unlucky ones who stayed behind to die. It was just a matter of time. If the gecko wants to cut off its tail to survive, it must have the firm determination to give up its tail, so even if it dies too quickly, it is not too outrageous to be understood.

But what's worse for the author is that the Russian armored forces that caught up from the left and right sides and divided into two groups have now bitten the tail of the retreating large force and entered the state of exchange of fire again. For a moment, Major Schlauen felt that he was full of question marks and unbelievable. He couldn't help but press the button of the throat transmitter and asked in a lost voice.

"How is it possible!? Didn't they say that they saw some Russian heavy tanks? They drove out from the back of the village and were two kilometers away from us. How could they catch up so quickly!?"

Compared to Major Schlauen's disbelief, the impatient tone on the other end of the radio seemed even more impatient.

"If you don't believe it, look back for yourself! See if those things that are catching up are Russian heavy tanks. These tractors are running as fast as our Black Panthers!"

"???"

Although it is not the first time that Major Schlauen has fought with the IS6 heavy tank, his main impression of this excellent heavy tank in the past has been its scalp-numbing solid defense and the huge cannon with a huge caliber.

As for the performance of mobility, Major Schlauen, who mostly fights armored encounters or friendly support battles, really has no strong experience of the mobility of the IS6.

But if you don't have any idea and no actual experience, that's your business. The actual performance of the IS6 is obvious and will not be discounted at all. It will not be affected by the stupid cognition of the Germans.

Not to mention that it can have an advantage in mobility over German tanks, even in the Red Army tank unit sequence, the IS6 heavy tank is the fastest and most mobile heavy tank so far, and is completely at the same level as medium tanks.

The most striking contrast is the serious IS4 heavy tank, whose performance in mobility can be said to be neither good nor bad, and is quite satisfactory. But if compared with the IS6, the IS4 heavy tanks of the division commander and the following regiment commanders are really "old turtles" and are extremely slow.

The IS6 heavy tank cluster that raised a cloud of dust behind them was almost on par with the medium tank troops and rushed to the front.

The heavy tonnage made the IS6 heavy tank inferior to the medium tank in the starting and acceleration stages, but in the final speed index, it was almost the same as the medium tank of its own side. So once encountering this kind of full-speed pursuit battle that can run for a distance, it is not difficult for the IS6 and T43 to run side by side.

So it is not surprising and completely reasonable that the Germans were caught up after running for a short time.

The German heavy armored forces with King Tiger as the core force are destined to have no chance of winning in terms of mobility. The German army cannot abandon the King Tigers as the backbone and only leave the faster tanks to escape. This kind of thing is unrealistic just by thinking about it. The most capable guys have thrown away everything, what are you going to fight with?

There is only the last distance to the starting position of the German attack, and it is close at hand. Major Schlauen, who is about to complete the task, knows that the people of the entire armored division have probably withdrawn and prepared for defense. Those who are still outside and have not had time to withdraw are the only ones who are at the forefront during the charge and are left behind during the retreat. They are really the most unlucky group of people.

Complaints are complaints, and it is useless to complain. Major Schlauen is very clear that coming up with a practical solution is the most urgent task at the moment.

There was no better choice at this point. In order to avoid being quickly entangled and divided by the enemy forces with superior numbers, Major Schlauen could only reluctantly divide his troops again and abandon the troops at the end that had already engaged the Soviet army, trying to delay some time and continue to retreat quickly.

"These bastards have abandoned their own people again! The desire to survive is really strong."

"Don't worry about it, let's continue the attack, Kulbarov! The Germans who are left to die here can't stop us at all. Tear them apart and continue to chase. The German positions are just ahead!"

"No problem, comrade deputy division commander!"

From leading a regiment each and pursuing in a roundabout way, to now joining forces in front of the German position.

The pursuit forces led by Lavrinenko and Kurbalov have already joined together. The powerful core forces of two tank regiments give them enough strength to launch an attack on the frontal defense position where the enemy's main force is entrenched. And eating the German armored forces that were left to die again is the last appetizer before the feast.

Just when Lavrinenko and Kurbalov were about to lead their teams to rush up and start fighting, the familiar voice of Malashenko suddenly sounded in the radio channel.

"Lavri, I've got it done here, how about yours? Report the situation!"

"Done? So fast! I thought you couldn't do it without me. We're almost done here, there's only a handful of Germans left to die. After killing them, we can go straight to the defense position and end everything in one go!"

Based on Lavrinenko's familiarity and understanding of his brothers, he guessed that Malashenko would definitely agree with him and ask him to continue the attack and launch a surprise attack to try to take the Germans away in one wave. He led the second regiment to support him soon.

However, this time, Lavrinenko was destined to be disappointed.
