#1036 Lost Contact (Plus 2)

An open anti-aircraft gun cannot be called a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun in the full sense.

Now, the barrels of the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns are rising rapidly, and the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns that have stopped on the spot are quickly entering a fighting state. Wants to give target indication to his anti-aircraft guns.

But it didn't work, they couldn't see each other's planes, they could only hear the sound.

why is that?

The other party must know that they have anti-aircraft artillery, so they deliberately use this extremely rogue way. Their planes fly in the valley next to them. They are blind spots here, and when they appear, it is a blink of an eye. , when you are not ready to fire, you will drop bombs to escape!

Yes, definitely so!

The Soviet anti-aircraft artillerymen were extremely nervous at this time. Their hands were shaking the high and low planes and the direction plane quickly. Listening to the sound of the plane, they hurriedly turned over which direction the plane was in. The moment the opponent appears, fire immediately!

The sound of the plane is getting closer, and everyone's heartbeat is accelerating. They know that the battle will start suddenly.

"Boom, boom!" At this moment, there was an explosion in the distance, but they didn't see the enemy plane!

what happened?

The squad leader of the artillery squad suddenly realized that he had made a serious mistake. In the mountains, there were echoes, and the direction they aimed at was the opposite!

And when they turned their anti-aircraft guns around, they only saw a few planes with inverted seagull wings, already fluttering their wings dashingly, and getting farther and farther away from them.

"Our tanks were not attacked, they were hitting the truck behind us," came the report over the radio.

Varisiev's heart relaxed for a while, then he became nervous again, what, hit the truck behind him? Those are their own supplies!

Both T-34 and KV-1 are diesel engines, which are more fuel-efficient, but this does not mean that they do not burn oil, especially in the mountains, their fuel consumption is even greater.

Now, hearing that the supply convoy behind was attacked, Varisiev frowned even more. At this time, he was in the middle of the parade and did not see the situation behind him. If he was attacked by surprise With a glance at the place, you can see that the other party's intentions are sinister.

"Stop procrastinating and move on," Varisiev said.

It was only more than 20 kilometers away from Qazvin. It was already noon. They had to arrive before dark. This damn mountain area is a nightmare.

The tank troops continued to advance, and behind them, at the mountain pass, a dozen fuel tankers were burning, blocking the way into the mountain.

Behind, the support artillery stopped.

"Damn it!" Major Ivan jumped out of his car, looked at the still burning car, and said, "Contact the division commander immediately, we are blocked!"

They are all driving cars, without any off-road ability, they can only walk on the road, and they dare not cross these fires.

"The 14th Howitzer Regiment called the Division Headquarters, and the 14th Howitzer Regiment called the Division Headquarters." In the command car, the radio soldier held the microphone and kept calling, but there was no echo in the radio.

"They entered the mountains and the radio signal was blocked," Yakov said involuntarily.

Shortwave radio, which travels in a straight line, is easily blocked by mountains. Now, they have lost contact with the division headquarters!

"We have to put out the fires of these cars as soon as possible, push away the wreckage of these cars, and catch up with our troops. If it is dark, it will be troublesome," Yakov said.

He looked at the sun, which had begun to slide westward, and was a little anxious. In the mountains, he was the most vulnerable to ambushes. This bombardment by the other party was definitely unusual!

Put out these fires? Ivan watched the flame jump out more than ten meters high, and it was easier said than done to put it out! Approaching is dangerous. Only fire trucks work. However, they are combat troops, not logistical troops. Where can there be fire trucks!

Ivan felt helpless, and the artillerymen behind jumped out of their cars one after another. Some have even opened the picnic dry food and started to eat it. Since it was blocked, it would be good to take advantage of this opportunity to eat some food!

Little did they realize the danger was coming.

Time passed little by little, and seeing the flames still burning, Major Ivan felt a little impatient. At this moment, Yakov suddenly shouted: "God, what is that?"

To the southeast of them, in the wild fields in the distance, black smoke rose up, needless to say, it must be a tank force! Moreover, the number will definitely not be small!

"Quick, quick, take down the cannon and prepare to fight!" Varisiev shouted loudly.

The M1938 152mm artillery is quite bulky. Each cannon is equipped with a seven-person artillery squad. Now, they have also discovered something, and quickly transferred the cannon from the marching state to the combat state.

"Quick, quick!" the squad leader shouted loudly, pulling the tow pin hard to separate the cannon's tow bar from the car in front of it, and then seven people shouted and pushed the cannon, turning it ninety degrees!

At this time, the black smoke in the distance is getting closer and closer, and they can clearly see that those are really galloping tanks! Moreover, the sharp edges and corners are very similar to the German Panther tank!

Could it be that the main German armored force has already landed? This is so scary! In an instant, the faces of the Soviet tank soldiers turned pale.

"Don't be afraid, even the latest German Panther tanks can't stop our artillery fire, loading armor-piercing shells!" Yakov shouted loudly.

What are you afraid of? We are artillerymen!

The 152mm howitzer, as the name suggests, mainly fires grenades, but this does not mean that it cannot fire armor-piercing projectiles. The huge caliber of this type of artillery makes it easier to fight against armored forces.

Historically, when the Soviet Union found that it could not penetrate the German Tiger tank, it immediately installed its own 152mm howitzer on the tank, and fiddled with the SU-152, although it was ugly with a big head. However, the firepower of this weapon is insane, it can penetrate 124mm armor at a distance of 1000 meters, and no tank can stop its firepower!
