Chapter 1123 The First Commander To Die

"Quick, start!" Chernyaev jumped into his tank and shouted to his men.

Now, everyone is retreating in a panic, only Chernyayev's own direct guard, which is still normal. Seeing that the situation is urgent, they no longer hesitate, jumping on their tanks and starting a hasty battle.

Just like the division commander of the aviation division must be able to fly a plane, the division commander of the tank division must also be a tank soldier. After jumping on his own tank, Chernyayev quickly gave an order.

From the engine behind, there is the sound of compressed air. The T-34 tank can be started in three ways: electric start, compressed air start and traction start. The compressed air start method is the most commonly used.

With the sound of the compressed air starter, the engine made a tom tom sound, and black smoke came out, and the tank engine was started.

The amount of oil has bottomed out, but they must fight to the last drop of oil!

"Armor-piercing projectiles, load!" As the engine started, the tank's hydraulic system began to work. Under Chernyayev's order, the gunner on the side bent over to move the shells from behind.

Yes, it's all his job.

The T-34 tank is a medium-sized tank, and the internal space is not rich. Therefore, the turret of this 76mm tank gun can only have two people in it, the commander and the gunner.

Can't let the commander go to carry the shells? So the gunner is the loader.

This situation was not until later improved to T-34-85, the enlarged turret seat ring, which was considered to be stuffed into three people.

In order to make the cast turret have a good bulletproof shape, the internal space of the turret of this tank is quite limited, which objectively leads to the integration of the tasks of the gunner and the loader.

After loading the shells, the gunner put his eyes on the sights, and in the darkness, he found that he couldn't see anything clearly.

Generally speaking, tank operations break out during the day, for the simple reason that aiming at night is quite difficult, and the shells fired are wasted.

But why are the Germans so accurate?

"Go forward, go forward!" Chernyayev continued to give orders, and the driver in front started the tank, facing the crowd that had retreated from his side, and pushed up.

There are not many tanks from the other side at all, only a few. The entire tank division was actually defeated by several tanks from the other side. This is simply intolerable!

Behind Chernyayev, several other tanks followed and charged forward, facing the German tanks.

"Finally there is one." Deguerre shouted excitedly: "Attention, two hundred meters ahead, T-34 tanks, fire!"

Night vision goggles have been equipped in large quantities in the German army for a long time, and everyone can control them skillfully, especially the tank soldiers.

At a distance of 200 meters, even people on the other side can see clearly, and the outline of the tank is even more striking.

"Understood." The gunner's voice was not high. He aimed attentively, shook it twice with his hand, and then stepped on the trigger.

"Boom!" The 88mm shell flew towards the opposite side.

The distance is too close, and almost instantly, you can see that a tank on the opposite side is blown up, and the other side's tank burns up, illuminating several surrounding tanks.

"Just two hundred meters ahead, fire!" Chernyaev shouted loudly. A tank beside him was hit, which did not affect his command. He had already seen the fire in front of him. The fire coming out, the other party is there!

"Boom!" A tongue of flame emerged from the 76mm barrel, and the blunt armor-piercing projectile flew towards the opposite side.

This shell is tracer, and it can be seen that it hit the Panther tank in front with a graceful arc!

But it didn't work.

The frontal armor of the Black Panther 3 tank withstood the shooting of the 76mm tank gun, and this time it was hit, which made De Guerre even more angry.

"Fire, kill him!" Deguerre shouted loudly, and now, he simply stopped and shot at the opponent!

"Boom!" The 88mm tank gun sounded again.

The three-person system in the turret is the most reasonable division of labor. The gunner only needs to aim and shoot, and loading the shells is a physical task, and there must be a special person in charge.

Now, in less than ten seconds, the Panther 3 tank here has completed the preparations before shooting again.

Then the gunner opened fire, and in the flames of the blown-up tank, the other tanks were too clear to see without a low-light night vision device.

The 88mm armor-piercing projectile cut through the dark sky and hit the T-34 turret accurately.

When this sound came, to the people in the turret, it meant the coming of the god of death!

"Quick, shoot!" At this time, Cherniaev was still giving orders to his subordinates, and the artillery commander was working hard to move the shells. The 76mm shells weighed more than ten kilograms, and it was very laborious to move them. .

As soon as the cannonball was put in, the loud crashing sound irritated everyone's eardrums. The cannonball in the gunner's hand was not steady, and suddenly fell below and hit his feet. He wanted to scream in pain, but his life was over.

The armor-piercing projectile drilled in, passed through the gunner's body, and the heat flow it brought detonated the projectile below.

Chernyayev's mind was blank at this time, although he only had a fraction of a second, he didn't think about anything, it was completely blank.

"Boom!" The shell exploded inside, killing several people in the tank instantly. Chernyayev walked without any pain, and at the same time, he was also meaningful. He was by far the highest rank and official killed in the Soviet Red Army.

Colonel, division commander, has died under German tanks!

The entire 20th Tank Division was in a panic. Although the Voronne Assault Brigade had a small number of people and few tanks, they turned the Soviet tank forces upside down.

On the infantry fighting vehicle, they were even more enjoyable. The infantrymen held 6.8mm submachine guns in their hands, and continuously shot outside through the shooting holes, killing the fleeing Soviet soldiers.

After they tossed for more than ten minutes in the Soviet position, the main force of the Viking Division finally came up.

General Felix Steiner, sitting on a Tiger tank of his own, looked at the panicked Soviet troops in the distance. He was also surprised for a while. Unexpectedly, one of his forward armored grenade Brigade, you can beat the opponent like this!

Now, the time is just right, what are you waiting for?

"The whole division is charging!" The figure of General Felix was transmitted to every chariot by radio. The commander's eyes were like torches, looking into the distance, the gunner was staring at the sight, ready to fire at any time, and the driver had already put the accelerator on. Step on it to the end, roaring up!
