Chapter 583 The Fatty Serves
"The old man Doppler is crazy! He is sending us to die in vain!"
"When has this old man ever been normal? His head was beaten stupid by the British more than 20 years ago! We are just a group of chess pieces that can be discarded by him!"
"I will write a letter to the Führer to sue this old man! I swear! As long as I can live!"
Almost all the young armored soldiers who were unlucky because of Lieutenant Colonel Doppler's order were cursing the initiator of all this, but unfortunately, the person they cursed could not hear the bad words in their mouths at all, and even if he heard it, it would not cause any substantial shakes and changes.
Malashenko, who had just repelled a wave of attacks, did not order the pursuit of the enemy for the sake of safety. Instead, he quietly opened the turret hatch above his head and used a high-power telescope to stick his head out to observe the specific situation on the battlefield.
Although he had expected that the Germans might not give up and continue to intensify the next wave of offensive, Malashenko really didn't expect that the commander of the German army on the opposite side would be so cruel that he directly drove back the poor armored soldiers and infantry who abandoned their vehicles and fled.
"Damn, this damn German leader is a wolf."
Originally, he had some reasonable plans for the German tanks abandoned on the battlefield. Seeing this scene, Malashenko felt speechless and realized that the previous plan was no longer applicable to the current situation.
Keeping these German tanks is to send meat to the Germans who have been killed and returned. He has basically guessed what the German commander who has never met is thinking. He grabbed the microphone beside him and gave orders loudly.
"All crews! Concentrate your firepower to destroy those abandoned German tanks! Quick!"
It is true that he wanted to take those German tanks for himself, but Malashenko did not want to see these abandoned tanks returned to their original owners.
Although he was reluctant, opening fire immediately to destroy those abandoned German tanks was the only and best option at the moment.
After receiving Malashenko's loud order, the Soviet tank soldiers immediately turned the turret quickly, and the main gun that had just stopped firing for less than a moment once again sprayed dazzling flames at those idle German tanks.
Although the empty tanks would not kill the members, there was no problem in detonating the ammunition racks and gasoline tanks.
The Soviet wind cap armor-piercing grenades, which were famous for their large amount of explosives, had almost the highest probability of exploding enemy tanks at the same time. Once the German tanks, which used gasoline, a dangerous and flammable substance, as tank fuel, were penetrated, they would almost explode on the spot.
The whistling 76 and 85 mm hooded armor-piercing grenades destroyed German tanks one after another, and the empty tank turrets were blown to the ground one after another like saluting.
Seeing that his plan was discovered by the opponent, Lieutenant Colonel Doppler suddenly felt an inexplicable anger and was a little furious.
"These clever Russian bastards!"
The right hand wearing a black leather glove punched the turret armor plate beside him heavily. Before Lieutenant Colonel Doppler could continue to issue a second order, he heard a whistling sound above his head.
"These damn air force are finally here!"
The most advanced Stuka dive bomber formation was soaring in the sky 800 meters above the ground, and above these Stukas, 6 BF109F2 fighters were soaring in the sky with an absolute energy advantage to maintain air control alert.
Looking down from 800 meters in the air, the land below can be clearly seen. The tanks and infantry battalions rushing towards the village at full speed were quickly confirmed by the sharp-eyed German pilots as friendly forces. The armored flags that were laid directly on the top of the tank turret to prevent being bombed by mistake were clearly visible.
The troops defending in the trenches and positions in front of the village were naturally the Russians mentioned in the mission briefing. Killing them in seconds was the final mission these German pilots received on this trip.
The wings and bellies were fully loaded with 250, 500 or even several 1-ton aerial bombs and swooped down from the sky. These late-model Stukas that had dismantled the "Jericho Trumpet" no longer emitted the same shrill battlefield wail as before, but the shrill whistling sound emitted by the powerful engine was still enough to make people feel heartbroken.
The German pilots who pressed the bomb button could immediately feel the weight of the fuselage lighten instantly. The action of dropping the bomb and pulling it up at an altitude of 200 meters was extremely thrilling and tested the pilot's driving and psychological endurance. After breaking away from the hook on the belly of the aircraft, the heavy aerial bomb rushed straight to the ground and then spread destruction to the earth.
Boom-
The 600 kilograms of explosives contained in the one-ton aerial bomb can only be described as earth-shaking. The huge explosion swallowed up three tanks in its coverage area in an instant.
A captured Type 3 tank and two KV1 heavy tanks were swallowed up by the huge explosion without any preparation. The black mushroom cloud that rose from the ground was at least more than 20 meters high. The strong shock wave like an 8-magnitude earthquake shook even Malashenko, who was not directly affected by the bomb, and felt dizzy.
"Fuck you! These German planes are dropping big potatoes again!"
Usually, the German army would only use these large bombs with a single mass of one ton when attacking large surface ships and solid permanent fortifications.
During the battle for Leningrad last year, Malashenko had experienced the huge power of this one-ton aerial bomb.
A German Stuka bomber formation that attacked the Red Navy warships in Leningrad failed to find the target at the predetermined location. Seeing that the fuel was running low, it had to return to the original route, but it never expected to meet Malashenko who was marching to the front line halfway.
In line with the principle of not wasting these bombs, the unscrupulous German pilots directly threw the one-ton heavy aerial bombs used to bomb ships on the top of the forehead of Malashenko's tank column.
The earth-shaking explosion restored the four KV1 heavy tanks under Malashenko's command to the state of parts on the spot. The power of the full 600 kilograms of explosives is not to be underestimated. It was from then on that Malashenko remembered this powerful German bomb.
Not knowing whether it was because of his noble status or for some other reason, Malashenko was surprised that the German Air Force would think so highly of him that they directly sent him a ton of aerial bombs. However, under such circumstances, the subsequent battle situation he faced was even more grim.
