Chapter 1256 Stalin Tank Leads (Plus 2)

Breaking through the siege, it is impossible for all the troops to break through. Germany has surrounded Uman. On the outer defense line of Uman, there are certain Soviet soldiers defending in all directions. Climb out from the combat post, gather here to escape, and the German tanks have already started to come up.

In any retreat battle, there is always a need for a rear. Generally speaking, the fate of the troops in the rear is determined, and they will shed blood and sacrifice for the retreat of the main force.

As a commander, it is even more ruthless. Of course, he will know that those who are left behind are abandoned, and they are meant to bleed to death. However, a qualified commander must ruthlessly lead his soldiers to the Death is necessary for more soldiers to survive. Without this kind of mental preparation, one cannot be a qualified commander.

Even so, when the order was given, the remaining troops did not complain. On the contrary, some soldiers voluntarily stayed and attacked the enemy hard.

For them, the Soviets are sacred, and they have to fight bravely for the Soviets!

For the breakout troops, their task is also very arduous. The German defense line on the opposite side is quite thick. They only have one chance.

To this end, they used more than 200 tanks and gathered all the tanks of the army into one place. Now, in the woods in the east of Uman, they are quietly waiting for the order to be issued.

"Boom, boom." The sound of the plane came from the sky, and a lookout raised his head and looked at the flying plane. There were five red stars on the wing, and he immediately became happy: "Our plane, we The plane is here!"

The Uman garrison was surrounded, which made Budyonni very anxious, but he could not send ground troops to rescue, so he was cruel and sent the air force at hand.

In the process of breaking out of the encirclement, the troops must protect their sky. If the German attack aircraft attacked them at this time, they might have been exhausted before they rushed to the encirclement.

"Comrades, our air force has come to escort us. Now, let us muster our courage and break through the enemy's encirclement. Long live the Soviets, Ullah!"

"Ula!" Everyone burst into a cry, and in the cry, the tank unit started.

Stalin tanks, walking in the front of the whole army, they are a sharp knife for the charge, and behind them are the wider T-34s, who are responsible for widening the opening after tearing it, while defending the two wings of the opening , and persisted until all the breakout troops at the back passed, and then behind, there were more than 100 other tanks.

This armored torrent seemed to be quite powerful. They passed through their own positions and rushed towards the outer encirclement quickly.

Aim for a spot and open the hole!

"Attention, the Soviets are coming!" Just after the Soviet tank troops on this side drove out of the woods, they were immediately discovered by the German troops guarding the encirclement.

"Quick, quick, quick, prepare to aim!" The squad leader of the artillery squad, Locke, shouted loudly at the position of a 75mm anti-tank gun.

Germany does have a lot of armored units, but it is impossible for them to encircle the entire encirclement. The armored units are deployed in a scattered manner and are ready to help at any time, and here they are just a group of infantry.

After discovering that the Soviets had broken through, nearby tanks would come quickly, and they needed to block the Soviets' attack before the tanks arrived.

Now, a large number of Soviet tanks are rushing towards them, they do not have any fear, on the contrary, they only feel a burst of excitement.

In this war, the infantry in the German army was almost always tasked with cleaning the battlefield. The tanks in front charged and killed the enemy, and the infantry in the back followed to clean the battlefield. They were not the protagonists.

And now, it's finally their turn!

What tank is that coming? Don't worry about it, just go bomb it!

Among the German infantry, a large number of anti-tank guns are equipped with this kind of anti-tank gun, which is low in shape, simple in structure and convenient in aiming. If we talk about its shortcomings, it is a little heavier. The guns weighed more than a ton, making it inconvenient to get into and out of position.

But now, this shortcoming is useless, they will not retreat, they will wait until the arrival of reinforcements from the rear.

"Aim at the Stalin tank at the front!" Locke shouted loudly: "Use sub-caliber armor-piercing bullets!"

Of course, we have to pick up the most threatening ones. Their 75mm anti-tank guns can easily kill the Soviet T-34 tanks and use ordinary blunt armor-piercing bullets. Now, facing the latest Soviet tanks , it's time to try out their new weapons too.

Sub-caliber armor-piercing projectiles are the most secret. Without changing the caliber and charge of the artillery, the penetration depth of the artillery shells has been greatly improved. Now, the armor-piercing projectiles they have at hand are the latest version, the previous armor-piercing projectiles. After allotment, it was good, but it was taken back and remodeled.

In fact, the transformation is very simple, and the rest are unchanged, that is, the tail of the shell has been slightly modified. The 88mm and 75mm ones have been improved according to this plan.

"Five hundred meters away, fire!" Locke shouted loudly.

"Boom!" The gunner pulled the gun's rope fiercely, and with a huge roar, a black smoke came out of the muzzle, and in the fireball, the armor-piercing projectile of the sling was thrown away, revealing the rear wing.

The wings were originally made to be parallel to the body of the projectile, just like the feathers on the tail of the bow and arrow, but now the wings are slightly bent, and this little change has brought about a huge difference.

The warhead is right-handed, and the rotational speed is quite high. When it throws away the stock, the wings of the warhead are in the airflow and begin to hinder the rotation of the warhead. While the warhead is flying forward rapidly, the rotation gradually slows down.

This 75mm anti-tank gun, when using ordinary blunt armor-piercing projectiles, has an armor-piercing depth of 102mm at a distance of 1,500 meters. This is still aimed at German armored steel, and now, The core of the tungsten alloy fluttered in the air, and in just over a second, it came into contact with the Stalin tank on the opposite side.

On the one hand, it was because the Stalin tank did not maneuver to evade during the charge. It had to rush over at the highest speed. At the same time, it also believed in its thick main armor, and there was no precedent for it to be penetrated on the battlefield.

Tiger tanks can't do it, how can those infantry anti-tank guns be possible?

On the other hand, it is the high precision of the German anti-tank guns. At a distance of 1,500 meters, the hit rate of straight-line shots is also astonishingly high.

In this way, the 75mm armor-piercing projectile was in close contact with the opponent's turret. The round turret did not bounce the flying warhead. The warhead only slipped a few tenths of a millimeter, then stabilized, and then began to drill inward. .
