#1113 Steel Collision (Plus 3)

"Quick, quick, advance!" Behind Kobrin, the 14th Soviet Mechanized Army was ordered to advance rapidly.

In order to implement the Thunderstorm Plan, the Soviets are also reorganizing their own troops. They plan to equip the entire army with 29 mechanized corps to achieve their strategic goals.

Today, such a mechanized army consists of 36,000 soldiers, 1,031 tanks, 258 artillery pieces and mortars, 5,000 cars, 350 tractors, and 1,700 motorcycles.

Theoretically, it is a combination of two tank divisions and one mechanized division, and the mechanized division has two infantry regiments.

However, this kind of preparation is simply not up to the point. If all tanks are equipped with T-34 and KV-1, Stalin tanks according to the existing tank production of the Soviet Union, they will also be equipped in 1945. uneven.

Therefore, almost all mechanized armies are dissatisfied.

At the same time, in history, due to the fiasco of 41 years, the stimulated Soviet Union completely changed the large-scale armored army establishment, and the overall establishment was miniaturized. Throughout World War II, the Soviet Union also created six tank armies.

The current 14th Mechanized Army, in theory, has jurisdiction over the 22nd and 30th Tank Divisions, the 205th Mechanized Division, and the 20th Mechanized Regiment. The total number of troops should reach more than 30,000.

But in fact, up to now, they have only 18,000 soldiers, less than half of the number of troops, and at the same time, their tanks are only more than 300 vehicles.

Fortunately, in the 22nd Tank Division in front, there is a heavy tank battalion of KV-2 tanks and a tank regiment of T-34 medium tanks. If they face the Germans, these two tank units are them. sharp knife.

In particular, only the KV-2's 152mm tank gun can knock out the opponent's Panther tank, which is their only sustenance. As for the T-34, they must rely on the numerical advantage to maneuver to the opponent's side before they can. Have the opportunity.

Major General Oberlin, the commander of the army, was preoccupied with a tank of the mechanized division behind.

They were attacking forward, and at the same time, he saw a lot of people moving in the opposite direction to them. Many people were still wearing military uniforms, and they were all people who had retreated from the front line!

"Hey, what's going on ahead?" he called to a retreating soldier.

"Tanks, there are German tanks everywhere. I was lucky to get out of the encirclement." The soldier was already frightened, and he kept saying, tanks, German tanks!

"Order the front-line troops, the German tank troops are about to appear, withstand the German tank attack, and hold on until reinforcements arrive!" Major General Oberlin shouted, he had a premonition that a brutal battle was coming.

He ignored those deserters. Now, these deserters do not need him to deal with. On the entire front, I don't know how many troops have retreated from the front. Comrade Stalin will consider these issues.

When the KV-2 tank walked on the parade ground, it surprised many military observers.

This tank is a product of a hasty emergency. The big head like the toilet, which is obviously incommensurate with the body of the car, and the thick and short tank gun are all ironic.

However, the combat effectiveness of this thing is very strong. Historically, on the second day of Operation Barbarossa, the KV-2 tank force had forcibly blocked the attack of the German armored division for several days.

At this time, in the heavy armored battalion, the battalion commander Kurilenko was showing half of his body, observing the distant field.

There was a stream of black smoke floating there, as if the tank troops were advancing at a high speed, his brows were gradually wrinkled, and then he took out a small red flag in his hand and waved it twice on the turret.

Attack, attack!

Due to the lack of radios, many Soviet tank units were commanded by this semaphore, and even in many cases, no command was required, and they only needed to charge with the tanks in front.

Therefore, the tank of the tank battalion commander is at the forefront. Based on this consideration, in their consciousness, they feel that their tank cannot be destroyed.

He got into the tank's turret and closed the hatch.

The battle is about to begin.

The action of the KV-2 tanks is not fast. Due to the increase in their own weight, their power is overwhelmed. What is even more frustrating is that the center of gravity is moved up because of the height of the turret.

This is a tank that rolls over easily. Every driver has to be careful, especially now, they can't just focus on the charge and forget that their tank is passing through the canal, and it is easy to suddenly overturn.

Behind them, there are hundreds of T-34 tanks. Compared with KV-2, they are more flexible.

This medium-sized tank is light in weight and has a large diesel engine torque, which makes it easy for them to drive in the field. Now, after getting the news of the upcoming encounter with the German tank, they immediately increased the throttle, from the two wings of the KV-2 tank. rush over.

No tank can be invulnerable, and the sides and back are weak places. The mission of a large number of T-34 tanks is to protect the wings of heavy tanks.

On the field, the charge of the tank troops is quite spectacular. The scene of this powerful impact will make everyone's blood boil, let's fight, we are the proudest tank soldiers!

From the rear of each tank, a stream of black smoke came out, the crawler rolled up the dust on the ground, the army was advancing, and the collision of steel was about to begin!

In the field of vision, the outline of the opposite tank gradually appeared.

Germany's newest Tiger tank!

Karl-Baumann's Tiger tank is still at the forefront. In recent months, his tank has undergone a modification. In front of the turret and the hull, a layer of additional armor is bolted, so that the tank is The weight has increased by two tons.

But even so, his tank still moves with ease. The 780-horsepower diesel engine is always working at high speed, and the supercharger blows a whistle-like whistle. Inside the tank, Karl Bowman is sitting in the tank's gondola. Inside, the body swayed with the tank.

"There is a Soviet tank unit ahead, the model KV-2 is visually observed, and the sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile is requested." Bowman shouted over the radio.

At this point, the distance between the two sides is at least three kilometers.

If it is an ordinary armor-piercing projectile, then he can use it directly. This kind of sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile is a kind of projectile that is quite precious and is still in a state of secrecy for the time being. When it is used, it must be reported in advance.

The entire warhead is made of tungsten alloy, and such a shell costs 8,000 euros!

"It can be used, pay attention, be sure to ensure the hit rate." The battalion commander's answer came from the radio.
