Chapter 1240 Six More Tigers (Plus 2)

"Batch commander, this, this is the equipment of our 3rd company." Seeing Battalion Commander Mark's question, Lieutenant Zweidi became nervous.

During this time, he hurriedly loaded the Tiger tank into the car, and at the same time covered it with a thick camouflage net. Unexpectedly, battalion commander Mark recognized it in the darkness.

As long as he fools around and starts, the battalion commander can't say anything when the equipment is unloaded. The battalion commander has found out that Lieutenant Zweidi is quite nervous.

The people in the 3rd company all turned their attention to this side, and each of them was very nervous. This batch of tanks is not coming from the right way, should they be taken away? It's not hot yet! The smell of fresh leather inside makes people intoxicated by the smell, and I really want to be with the tank every day.

Just when they were anxious, the telegraph operator hurried over: "battalion commander, battalion commander, the higher-ups called and sent us a batch of equipment."

Holding the telegram, battalion commander Mark was overjoyed: "Tiger tanks, give us six? That's great! Immediately send someone to receive them and catch the train."

"Batch commander, look down, we have received the tank," the telegraph operator continued.

Already received it? Mark looked at the tank on the scooter in front of him, and his mind had already reacted, and he couldn't help but nodded to Lieutenant Zweidi: "Okay, you guys are capable, Hans is also involved in this matter, right?"

At this point, Hans had already jumped off the scooter, tied the rat tank, and came to watch the fun.

Hearing the battalion commander complimenting himself, Hans touched his head and said: "Batlist commander, our tank battalion suddenly has six more Tiger tanks. When charging, we can finally protect our flanks perfectly. I can take the initiative to attack at any time, but I have made a great contribution.”

"You boy, good luck, bad luck, wait for the military court." Mark's words were harsh, but there was an undisguised smile on his face. No one disliked the increase in the number of weapons under their hands, especially Now, he has only fourteen tanks in total, and he has six more tanks at once, which is absolutely overjoyed.

When it was almost dawn, they finally loaded the car, the entire tank battalion, and started to take the train, heading for Romania, crossing Romania, they would get off at the border area between Romania and the Soviet Union, organize their troops, and head towards Osa. Germany.

The battle that belonged to the 502nd heavy tank battalion began like this.

At this time, the war situation in the entire Ukraine has also deteriorated to the point where it cannot be further improved.

With the Germans rushing into the north and the center, Ukraine in the south is the only prominent part of the Soviet Union now, and now, in order to protect the war situation in Ukraine, after transferring Zhukov to the north, Stalin will be by his side The fierce general mobilized over.

The bearded Semyon Budyonny was looking at his men.

The Soviets liked to grow beards, but it was rare for them to grow as big as Budyonny. Now, Budyonny habitually touched his beard and asked his servants: "That is to say, we don't have any idea. Can't stop the rapid German attack?"

"Yes, Marshal, we can only deploy our troops along the Dnieper River and rely on this moat to guard against the Germans." The commander of the Southwest Front frowned for Admiral Kilponos and said: "The German tanks The troops are advancing very quickly, fortunately we have this mother river."

The Dnieper River is the second largest river in eastern Europe and the third largest river in Europe, originating from the southern foot of the Valdai hills in Russia.

Its first section of 483 kilometers, first to the south and then west, passes through the Smolensk Oblast, Russia; near Orsha, it turns south again; then the 595-kilometer section flows through Belarus, and finally, it flows through Ukraine territory, flowing south to Kyiv, from Kyiv southeast to Niepropetrovsk, and then south-southwest to the Black Sea.

This river runs through the entire Ukraine and can be said to be the mother river of Ukraine, and now, it is this river that gives them some psychological comfort.

The wide river, as long as you keep these bridges, you can protect half of Ukraine. Since order 270 was issued, even generals like Pavlov have been shot, and the others are also trembling, for fear that the next turn will be to yourself.

Now that there is Budyonny in charge, it will be even better. This veteran who has come from the civil war can lead his side to victory.

Budyonny was born in cavalry. In this era, the role of cavalry seems to be getting smaller and smaller. Although he is a veteran, he will still look at the current war with new eyes.

He knew that the German armored forces were the biggest threat to their own side. In Minsk, the Germans vividly demonstrated the mobility of their armored forces. With this terrifying mobility, they completed the attack on the Minsk army. encircle.

Now, the situation in Ukraine is different from Belarus. Ukraine has a larger territory, so the Germans often find that their impact force is not strong enough during the charge. As for Kyiv, there is no need to worry about being surrounded by the Germans. The Germans cannot cross this area. In any case, they will not be able to complete the siege of Kyiv.

"Building positions on the west bank of the Dnieper, we rely on positions to hinder the German attack." Budyonny said: "Let our soldiers write their loyalty to the Soviets with their blood and lives."

He turned his head back and glanced at Khrushchev: "Comrade Khrushchev, you must also arrest the discipline of the army. If anyone dares to retreat, then shoot him without hesitation."

Khrushchev nodded.

In fact, Khrushchev prefers to stay in Moscow. He has realized the danger of directly fighting the Germans. It seems that he has never won, and whoever wins will lose. Moreover, Order 270 is even more proposed by Khrushchev. Yes, now that Khrushchev is on the front line, is there time for him to retreat?

Khrushchev didn't know, he only hoped that his side could hold on and rely on the Dnieper River.

Khrushchev came here as a political commissar. He wanted to maintain strict military discipline and strictly prevent the troops from retreating. When Petersburg was blown to the ground by the Germans, the Soviet military seemed to be a little unstable.

For the sake of his career, he must not lose this battle, Khrushchev thought in his heart, by the way, now he can compile some newspaper content to exaggerate how the Germans raped women and massacred the people in the occupied areas. Raise your will to fight!

He looked at Budyonny, old marshal, don't hurt me, we can't lose this battle.
