Chapter 1116 Tank Openers Join the Battle (Plus 6)

Without air supremacy, no matter how powerful the tank troops on the ground are, it is useless.

The Soviet Union is a traditional army power. What they admire most is the army, and the air force is not taken seriously. You can also see from the Soviet establishment of later generations that the Soviet army can handle it itself, and absolutely does not need the air force to do it. For example, the army itself has accompanying artillery and various short-range missiles, which can be done to attack the enemy without air force support. At the same time, they also have a large number of air defense weapons, which can also be done to protect themselves.

At the same time, another reason is that, in the sudden attack last night, the Soviet front-line aviation was wiped out almost instantly and brutally wiped out on the ground.

Now, even if there are still some planes left in the Soviet Union, they are sporadic and useless. Before the rear fighters are mobilized to the front, the tops of the Soviets' heads are almost open.

Now, the Soviet tank units that were busy attacking, apparently unaware that another formidable enemy of theirs was coming soon.

Major Weber washed his face with cold water. He felt a lot more awake. Although he had just eaten breakfast, the food in his stomach would consume nutrients in his blood during digestion, which made him feel sleepy. He still ran resolutely. to his own plane.

HS129, a special tank opener, although this aircraft can also dive bomb and do various bomber missions, its most professional is still to attack the enemy's tank troops.

"Major, the shells are full. One hundred rounds, all of them are armor-piercing incendiary bombs." The maintenance engineer on the side reported to him.

The pilots are tired, and the crew is even more tired. As soon as the plane comes back, they have to carry out various overhauls, maintenance, refueling and hanging bombs, and after the plane takes off, they have to repair the damaged planes, and they have been for a long time. They didn't close their eyes, their eyes were bloodshot, but they were still full of energy.

This is a national war. Every one of them is a screw in this huge war machine. They must work hard. At least they don't have to shed blood and sacrifice, just sweat.

Major Webb sat in his cockpit, started the engines on both sides, and then rolled on the runway.

Behind him, the HS129s took off one after another, and flew over according to the direction called in the radio.

Twenty minutes later, Major Weber rushed over the battlefield. At this time, he was already crying in his heart.

It was still too late. When his plane arrived over the battlefield, his own tanks were already mixed with the opponent's tank troops. The front tiger tanks of his own side were even about to pass through the opponent's position. The thick shock circle, which then bloomed from behind, encircled the enemy's tank troops.

Although he was a little scared, he still gave an order on the radio: "Attention, show me clearly before hitting, don't hit the wrong target!"

Although the two sides are in a melee, their own attack aircraft still have to participate in this kind of battle, so preventing accidental strikes is the most important thing.

In the sky, all the tanks are similar, so in order to cooperate with the planes in the sky, the German tanks have painted big crosses with black paint on the turrets.

In other words, just follow the enemy's tank without the cross below to dive and attack!

Soon, Major Webb locked on a horse-like tank, pushed the lever, and dived low.

"Fire!" Andrenovich shouted loudly from his tank.

He was very lucky. He hit zero distance from a distance of 1,000 meters, and then hit the intersection of the two sides. His tank was not hit by the other side. Then, he was in chaos on the battlefield, and he didn't know that he hit it. What location, not knowing where other tanks are around.

The entire battlefield was already in chaos, and he had an ominous premonition in his heart that the Germans interspersed through their defense line, maybe to surround them.

But there was no way, he could only bite the bullet and rush forward, rushing through the German tank positions, and he was safe.

"Boom!" The 152mm howitzer made a huge roar, the whole car body was shaking, and the high-explosive grenade flew over.

After firing more than a dozen cannonballs, he finally achieved victory with this cannonball, hitting the turret armor of a Tiger tank!

Destroy, be sure to destroy the opponent's tank!

The grenade rushed away and hit the armor of the Tiger tank heavily. In the huge explosion, the shock wave hit the armor.

The first thing it encountered was alloy steel, and it easily tore this layer of alloy steel, and then, it encountered something strange.

Alumina ceramic balls!

The Tiger tank has been fully equipped with composite armor. It was originally intended to deal with armor-piercing projectiles, but now, high-explosive grenades have made this composite armor useless.

The 152mm grenade is quite powerful. The ceramic ball and the surrounding glass fiber reinforced resin were blown away in the explosion. Then, there was the high-toughness inner bottom plate at the back. When the shock wave arrived here, there was no more. Too much power.

The main armor of the Tiger tank, which had gathered a few centimeters behind, was unscathed.

At this time, the Tiger tank was aiming at a T-34 tank. When it was hit, the members of the tank were furious and wanted to kill the sneak attacking tank, but it was not their turn to do it.

HS129 has already swooped down from the sky. Under the protection of thick armor, it can ignore any ground artillery fire, not to mention that now, the Soviet armored forces have no regard for the sky above.

"Tom tom tom!" Three 40mm armor-piercing incendiary rounds fired at the top of the KV-2 tank.

After the new engine was installed and the maneuverability was improved, the ammunition reserve of this aircraft was increased to 100 rounds. During normal operations, in order to improve the hit rate, almost all shots were fired in three bursts.

The armor thickness on the front of the KV-2 exceeds 100 mm, but its top is only 30 mm thick. Under the blow of the 40 mm armor-piercing incendiary bomb, the 30 mm thick steel plate was easily penetrated.

"Boom!" This KV-2 tank was hit by all three shells on the top of the turret, and then ignited the ammunition inside. The attack of armor-piercing incendiary bombs is more convenient. It can not only penetrate armor, but also combustion.

No one came out alive, and the deputy battalion commander also died.

The establishment of the Soviet tank troops has been disrupted. In the melee between the two sides, they have poor command and cannot communicate before and after. They just continue to charge forward with a burst of energy.

They did not realize that they had been surrounded by German tank units.

Even in the first ten minutes before the German attack planes entered the battlefield, they did not find a more terrifying enemy on their heads. At this time, the battlefield was already a mess.

Major Webb pulled up his HS129 attack aircraft and continued to look for the next target.
