Chapter 581: Excessive Pressure

The convenience of battlefield communication, which had always been unilaterally dominated by the German army, was completely broken. The First Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment, which was fully equipped with wireless communication stations for inter-vehicle communication, could also achieve real-time communication on the battlefield.

The Soviet tanks, which were able to stay in place and defend and fire, took advantage of the situation and beat the German armored forces that had initially tried to break through the front forcefully. They were forced to give up this unrealistic idea after leaving behind a pile of burning wreckage.

The German tanks, which could not penetrate the armor of the Soviet heavy tanks head-on, began to use the old tricks again, outflanking and trying to break the weak points of the Soviet defensive positions from the side.

The KV1 heavy tanks that held on to the rear of the infantry trenches were divided into two. Under Malashenko's real-time battlefield command, they systematically divided the troops that were enough to deal with the German army and conducted interception and firing in the corresponding direction.

In the past, the Soviet tank soldiers, who had extremely poor battlefield communication methods, were not difficult to deal with German tanks in a single direction. It was not difficult to attack with the muzzles pointing to the only direction of the enemy's attack.

However, once the German tanks were divided and encircled, the Soviet tank troops with poor communication and slow command would often lose sight of one thing and miss the other, only focusing on attacking German tanks in one direction, or directly exposing their chrysanthemums to the sight of the enemy's gun scope, and then being supported and quickly destroyed by the German tanks that seized the opportunity.

The various Soviet vehicle crews had no tacit cooperation under the flexible and changeable tactical actions of the German army. The German armored soldiers, whose tanks were not as good as those of the Soviet army, relied on this trick to gallop in 1941. For a time, they were so crazy that they seemed to find no Soviet opponent who could fight.

But the German tactical magic weapon that has always been tried and tested was like a bitch meeting a rapist when it met the First Guards Heavy Tank Breakthrough Regiment commanded by Malashenko: it was completely useless.

Malashenko also had the vehicle-mounted radio that the Germans had, and the thick armor that the Germans did not have. Malashenko also held the powerful main gun that the Germans could not reach very embarrassedly in his hands.

He could not win by force, and he was defeated by tactics.

There is an idiom in ancient China that is very suitable to describe the dilemma faced by Major Edelman at the moment. This idiom from China is called "Qian Donkey's Skills Are Exhausted", but Major Edelman probably has no chance to know this idiom and understand its meaning until his death.

Lavrinenko, who has excellent strength, has won a resounding title since the beginning of the Moscow Campaign last year: Sniper's Eye.

As the commander of the tank, Lavrinenko can always grasp every chance of winning in the cruel battlefield with complex battles and fleeting opportunities with the help of the tank commander's periscope with very limited vision.

In terms of the ability to command a single vehicle and the accuracy of understanding the battlefield, Lavrinenko's actual level is even higher than that of their regiment commander comrade Malashenko. The Type 3 J1 medium tank, which looks inconspicuous on the cruel battlefield with artillery fire, has been firmly fixed by Lavrinenko.

Among the German tanks, there are only four or five Type 3 J1 medium tanks at most, which have a more slender 50mm main gun barrel. The star-shaped command vehicle antenna mounted on the engine compartment of the Type 3 J1 medium tank is even more eye-catching.

Although almost no one would care about all these inconspicuous details on the battlefield with artillery fire, Lavrinenko, who already knows how to distinguish the German command vehicle, did not miss it.

"Mikhail, take out the German Type 3 tank with the spider web antenna on its butt first!"

The command vehicle star antenna has several more branches than the ordinary communication antenna, and is vividly called the "spider web antenna" by Lavrinenko and many Red Army tank soldiers.

After receiving the order from the commander Lavrinenko, the gunner Mikhail, who used the maximum speed to hand-crank the steering gear, quickly aimed the black main gun at the target. The special Type 3 tank, which had hardly participated in the battle and had always been protected by other tanks, looked like a timid and trembling mole.

"Eat shit! Nazha!"

Boom——

The Lavrinenko car, which has been used since last year, has long been scarred and mottled.

Countless armor-piercing shells that did not penetrate the tank were scratched and even left shallow pits all over every inch of armor on the tank. This prototype vehicle, which was designed to achieve the best performance and conduct index testing at the beginning of its manufacture, is an absolute masterpiece supervised by Comrade Kokin himself.

The unreliable phenomenon of armor impurities does not exist at all on this carefully crafted castrated KV220 prototype. In addition to some existing problems that cannot be changed in design, Kokin did everything he could to make this prototype vehicle the best factory state. Lavrinenko, who is getting more and more comfortable with it, swears that his original choice is definitely the right one.

The scene of the KV220, which is covered with battle scars, spewing out muzzle flames is extremely shocking. The powerful 85mm main gun sends the capped armor-piercing shells ready to be fired in the barrel out of the flames and shoots directly at the target in front of him.

At the moment the main gun roared and fired, another German armor-piercing shell flew from nowhere and hit Lavrinenko's vehicle. The unusually strong gun shield that had once blocked the 88mm armor-piercing shell and caused the embarrassing failure to penetrate the target once again demonstrated its power.

This 50mm sub-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing projectile that came unexpectedly also got stuck on the gun shield. The awkward scene was like a toy dart hitting a target, full of mockery. The battle-scarred armor added another scar that symbolized supreme merit.

Almost at the same time, the 85mm wind cap armor-piercing projectile that broke through the wind with the German armor-piercing projectile also hit the target accurately. The No. 3 J1 medium tank, which was hit suddenly without any preparation, had its turret front armor torn open and shook violently.

No one knew what terrible tragedy had happened inside the tank in this lightning-fast moment.

The small head of the No. 3 tank rushed straight into the sky like a champagne cork that was suddenly opened after being shaken violently. The fire and flames that rushed straight into the sky from the body of the vehicle with the turret released amazing destructive energy to destroy everything.

Lavrinenko, who was staring at the focal point of his vision, clearly saw that half of a human thigh was drooping on the turret steering machine ring of the No. 3 tank and was lifted up into the sky together.

"Oh, look at this bastard, comrade commander! I bet the Germans brought too many shells, and the turret flew up at least seven or eight meters!"
