Chapter 1153 Reinforcements Arrive

"Fire!" cried Modlin loudly.

Following his order, the tank vibrated again, and an 88mm blunt armor-piercing projectile hit the turret of a Stalin heavy tank.

The warhead burrowed inwardly, burrowed inwardly, and tried everything to pierce the Stalin tank.

But it didn't work. It was only halfway deep, and its speed was reduced to zero. It stopped helplessly, but it still refused to fall. So, just like this, it hung on the front armor of the Stalin tank. And the Stalin tank didn't care, it had been shot twice, and now, it was finally reloaded.

"Boom!" A black smoke came out of the 122mm barrel, and the armor-piercing projectile also poured towards the German tank. This time, it hit Modlin's tank!

In this tragic battle, Modlin's Tiger tank was already scarred. Almost every piece of the reactive armor it was wearing had endured once, and some even endured twice.

When the armor is shot, the bulletproof ability will be reduced, which is why it is made detachable. After this battle, they need to change a batch of composite armor.

But don't care now.

The 122mm armor-piercing projectile quickly penetrated the composite armor, hit the hard molybdenum alloy armor of the Tiger tank, and continued to drill in. Although it once penetrated the Panther 3 tank, now, in front of the Tiger tank , 122 mm ordinary blunt armor-piercing projectile, the power is still not enough.

It had to stop after it penetrated about two-thirds of the way in, but because its warhead was heavier, it didn't stay in the armor. When the speed was zero, it fell with a thud.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield is delicate.

The shelling armor-piercing projectile of the Tiger tank had an accident and could not penetrate the Stalin tank. It could only use blunt armor-piercing projectiles. This kind of armor-piercing projectile hit the sides and back of the Stalin tank without any problem, but it could not penetrate the front.

This is only when the two sides staggered. Now the remaining dozen or so Stalin tanks have already pointed their strongest places to the Tiger tanks.

Similarly, the 122mm armor-piercing projectile of the Stalin tank cannot penetrate the solid front armor of the Tiger tank, and even the Panther 3 tank may not be able to penetrate it. It is just at the critical value of penetration, which is completely determined by the Panther. 3 How effective is the layer of composite armor on the outside of the tank.

It seems that there is a stalemate, and no one can do anything about it, but the number of Soviet tanks is large.

The tactics of the tank sea can be played again at this time.

The T-34 tanks behind the Soviet Union are already moving fast and are about to enter a confident range of five hundred meters, while the German tanks are in a dilemma. If they turn the turret, leave the back of the head to the Stalin tank. If they don't turn The turret, that T-34 also slams the rear of the turret of a German tank.

In any case, it is not good for Germany. The rear of the turret of the Tiger tank may be able to block the 76mm cannon of the T-34, but the Panther 3 tank must be unstoppable. Once it is approached by the Soviet tank, the German tank losses will increase.

Therefore, the T-34 tanks just didn't stop to fire, which would waste time. They ran all the way, just want to rush to within 500 meters before firing.

In the distance, Kondrushev, the commander of the 22nd Mechanized Army, was observing the front line with binoculars, and his face was full of smiles.

The Air Force did a great job holding the Luftwaffe plane, now it's up to you.

"Report to Kyiv, we will usher in an unprecedented victory, we have surrounded the main tank force of the German Viking Division and are about to destroy them." Kondrushev said.

Because of this credit, he will also turn the tide and become a hero of the Soviet Union. Kondrushev's heart is very satisfied.

what sound?

At this moment, he suddenly heard a cannonball piercing the sky in the distance, the unique Doppler whistle, and his expression changed in an instant.

cannon! According to years of experience, the shells of these cannons are definitely fired from large-caliber howitzers, and I am afraid that the caliber exceeds 120 mm, or even 150 mm.

And, listen to the sound, is this shot towards you?

"Quick, covert!" Kondrushev shouted loudly, and he ran back quickly, trying to get to his field headquarters, which was at least built to resist shelling.

"boom!"

It was still too late. He stood on a high earth dam to observe the battlefield. He was more than 100 meters away from his headquarters. When he ran out a dozen steps, the cannonball had already fallen to the ground.

The explosive power of the 150mm grenade was quite astonishing. At this moment, Kondrushev quickly fell to the ground, and he had already heard the screams of the entourage behind him.

A shrapnel, flying from behind, shaved off half of Kondrushev's head, and he walked peacefully, almost in pain for a second, and he didn't have to see the terrible end of his mechanized army .

Hit by the first shell, it can only be said that Kondrushev's luck was too bad. At this time, the sound of shells flying over came one after another. The Germans had at least regiment-level artillery groups and commanded the 22nd Army. Department and infantry positions, a covering shelling was carried out.

In the sky, the "frame" was still flying leisurely, the pilot accurately guided his own artillery group, and at the same time, he could see the scene of the huge tank army attacking on the ground in the distance.

Two tank divisions, more than 700 tanks, is the scene spectacular? The Soviets had displayed their greatest strength, but, in the eyes of Germany, it was of course insignificant.

While the Viking Division was fighting with the main force of the Soviet Union, the other armored divisions, of course, would not watch the excitement from a distance, and they were also rapidly advancing towards this direction!

The Viking Division was just at the front, and behind them was the main force of the entire Southern Army Group, the 1st Panzer Army Group.

This armored army group has six armored divisions with a total of 3900 tanks.

Now, the 14th and 16th Armored Divisions ordered to come to support, a total of 1,300 tanks, are coming from the south, overwhelming, and behind them, the artillery units of the divisions have begun to attack the rear of the Soviet Mechanized Army. A long-range bombardment.

Not all tank divisions in the Soviet Union are tanks, and there are a large number of infantry behind them. Now, the tanks on the front line are fighting together, and the artillery cannot provide support, so they can still fire at the back of the opponent first.

With the help of the reconnaissance plane, they easily completed the measurement of shooting Zhu Yuan, and even killed the unlucky commander first.

The cannons roared loudly. This huge roar represented the statement of the German reinforcements, and the annihilation of the Soviet tank troops was just in front of us.
