Chapter 1145 Reinforcement of the 22nd Mechanized Army

"Master, a huge number of tanks have appeared in front of us and are attacking us!" Felix frowned when he heard the news.

Our tank troops, after the impact just now, consumed about a quarter of their fuel and about ten rounds of ammunition. They still have combat effectiveness, and their troops are in good spirits, so they can continue to charge. .

However, if there are too many tanks on the other side, it will be different. If you are surrounded by the tank sea of ​​the other side, and your tanks have run out of ammunition, it will be very troublesome.

At this time, the enemy cannot be underestimated.

But now, retreating is also not a good choice. If you retreat, the opponent's tanks will rush up and surround yourself. This is a dilemma. At this time, of course, only the brave will win!

"Commander, our HS-129 attack aircraft will arrive within twenty minutes." At this moment, a new message came, which strengthened Felix's confidence.

It is no problem for the tank troops of one's own side to persist for 20 minutes, but after 20 minutes, the tank openers above their heads can make the opponent's tank troops usher in a terrible ending.

"Order the troops in front of us, maintain the attack formation, and prepare to meet the huge Soviet tank force!" Felix finally made up his mind.

German tank soldiers, have not been afraid of anything!

At the same time, the Soviet tank soldiers on the opposite side were also imposing.

The 22nd Soviet Mechanized Army is the will-willed mechanized army of the Kyiv Military Region. They finally arrived on the battlefield at this critical time.

At the same time, they also knew that a tank battle broke out ahead, so they turned into a battle formation on the way.

The 22nd Mechanized Army includes the 19th and 41st Tank Divisions, the 215th Mechanized Division, and the 23rd Mechanized Regiment. Now, the tank units of the two tank divisions have opened a wide offensive surface on the field.

Although it is a bit messy, it is roughly arranged according to a tank of 50 meters. A hundred tanks are spread out for a full five kilometers, and there are seven rows of such tanks!

Yes, they have more than 700 tanks, which are advancing towards the German tank force. In comparison, the more than 100 tanks on the opposite side are simply drizzle.

Historically, when the Barbarossa program began, although the Soviet Union had tens of thousands of tanks, the number of advanced T-34 and KV tanks was less than a thousand, but now, great changes have taken place.

When the German tank troops were galloping across Europe, the Soviet Union was already tense. Both T-34 tanks and KV tanks were being mass-produced and equipped. Now, almost all of them are assigned to the 22nd Mechanized Army. More than 300 vehicles, it can be said that the first three rows are almost all of this kind.

In the front row, there are more than 80 KV-2 tanks, mixed with 20 Stalin tanks, the middle two rows are all T-34, and the latter are some early equipped T-26 and Things like BT series tanks.

The more advanced Stalin tanks were not equipped in their troops, and their current tanks are already quite powerful.

Especially those KV-2 tanks with big heads and toilet heads!

Now, Modlin has not paid special attention to those Stalin tanks. From two kilometers away, the toilet head is still particularly dazzling. Those Stalin tanks, from this side, seem to be similar to the T-34, they are all round. turret.

"Watch out, with sub-caliber armor-piercing rounds, we're going to kill them at long range!" Modlin shouted over the radio. "Aim for those toilet heads first!"

PzGr.40 sub-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing projectile, this is the code name of the armor-piercing projectile in history, it is the latest German-developed tungsten carbide armor-piercing projectile, and the penetration depth is quite amazing.

However, this sub-caliber is not a shelling armor-piercing bullet, but a layer of soft material on the outside of the core, but now, the codename of this armor-piercing bullet has been given to the latest production shelling armor-piercing bullet.

The performance of this kind of armor-piercing projectile is quite advanced. Each tank carries about five pieces. After all, it is expensive and cannot be used casually. Now, I can finally come up with my own magic weapon!

Not only the Tiger tanks, the Panther 3 tanks in the bell formation are also equipped with a certain number of shelling armor-piercing projectiles. Anyway, the calibers of their tank guns are the same, and they are completely universal.

The bell-shaped tank formation continued to move forward. Inside the galloping chariot, the loader steadily stuffed the armor-piercing projectile into the gun chamber and shouted loudly: "Sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile, loaded!"

"Attention, fire at a distance of a thousand meters!"

In fact, German armor-piercing projectiles, even at a distance of 2,000 meters, have enough penetration depth, but now, both sides are moving at high speed. In order to ensure sufficient attack accuracy, they must be placed at a distance of 1,000 meters. Say it again.

Under normal circumstances, the Soviet tank guns are only accurate enough at a distance of 500 meters. At a distance of 500 meters, almost all the shells are shot, and it is definitely luck to hit the tank. not good.

However, what the German tank soldiers didn't expect was that the Soviets fired earlier!

"Attention, two kilometers away, fire!"

Soviet tanks were spaced a great distance from each other, so that when they were firing, they needed to stop without affecting the movement of the tanks behind.

Now, the KV-2 tank suddenly stopped at a distance of two kilometers, and then, with a bang, a black smoke came out of the muzzle, and a 152 mm grenade flew out of the muzzle, towards the The German tank formation on the side shot over!

What happened to the Soviets? Is this stupid?

Looking at the gun barrels of the Soviet tank troops on the opposite side, black smoke came out. The German tank soldiers here were surprised. With their guns, at this distance, the error may reach ten meters. Can you hurt yourself?

"Boom!" Sure enough, a 152mm grenade exploded in the open space more than 20 meters away from the bell-shaped formation, kicking up several meters of dust, causing the German tank soldiers to boo on the radio.

The Soviets are wasting their shells! The large-caliber artillery shells they originally carried were not many, and now they still need such an indifferent consumption!

"Boom!" At this moment, another shell suddenly fell into the interior of the bell-shaped tank formation here, and hit the left track of a Panther 3 tank on the right side of the formation almost just right. in front of.

"Crash la la..." The track was blown off, and the driver of the tank didn't react for a while. When he felt the tank start to turn, he realized something was wrong and pulled the brakes urgently.
