Chapter 1377 There Are Swamps Everywhere

The 7th Armored Division, Germany's ace unit, its first division commander was Rommel, who fought in France and went to North Africa. When the war situation in the Middle East stabilized, this battle-tested ace armored division, He also returned to Germany again. After some preparations, he participated in the Barbarossa program.

In this operation, they also took the lead, and they played very enjoyable. During the charge, they encountered the Soviet Union's fully-staffed 5th Tank Division. They went up to greet them, and they gave the 5th Tank Division to the crippled.

But since then, they haven't won too many battles. They have rushed all the way, crossed the Dnieper from the north, crossed the northern Smolensk, and then prepared to march from the east to the south, merge with the army in the south, and complete the encirclement. encircle.

The current commander of the 7th Armoured Division is Colonel Wolfgang Glassmore, who is now sitting on a Tiger tank, looking forward with confidence.

Along the way, the Waffen SS was robbed of almost all the military exploits. The armored divisions of the Wehrmacht could not get a good battle. Now, they can only race on the vast Soviet plain to show it. their existence.

"There are so many swamps here." Looking at the surrounding scene, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Relying on the tracks, the tank can gallop in the wild, but this is not a panacea. When encountering a swamp, the tank will often get stuck in the car. At any time, don't put yourself in a dangerous situation. This is the basic consciousness of a soldier.

Therefore, they did not attack the unknown places on both sides, but pushed forward on the muddy road.

If the Soviets planted mines on the road here, they would delay their own actions, and they would not dare to rush into the wild swamp, and could only follow the road.

His armored division is a strengthened organization. In the entire armored division, there are more than 100 Tiger tanks and more than 200 Panther 3 tanks. At this time, the powerful tank troops are lined up in a long line, advancing on the road on.

The tracks churned the mud and splashed around, and just last night it rained again, making the road even more muddy.

"Our scouts are farther forward," Colonel Wolfgang Glassmore said on the radio.

At this time, if someone comes to sneak attack from the side, although it will not eat his armored division, it will bring him some trouble.

Major General Fang Ke didn't want trouble.

"Understood." There was an echo from the radio: "Increase the search range."

Walking in the forefront is the 37th Armored Reconnaissance Battalion. At this time, they are fan-shaped, searching for the front.

In front of them are several BMW motorcycles. They are moving on the road. The mud stirred up by the wheels is flying everywhere. Behind the BMW motorcycles are several tracked infantry reconnaissance vehicles. They are on the road. Walk up carefully.

They are here to explore the road. If there are anti-tank mines buried on the road, they will find out as soon as possible. Even if they sacrifice their vehicles, they must protect the main force behind them. This is their mission!

The surrounding swamps are bottomless, and they dare not enter these swamps easily. At the same time, there are deep ravines in the swamp.

At the front end of the gully, it can be seen that it is the top of an ordinary wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, but the lower part is two large screws. The infantry fighting vehicle drives the large screws to walk in it, like walking on the ground.

After the first use, it is found that this screw car is quite adaptable to the swamps of the Soviet Union. In addition to walking by itself, it can even help other vehicles that accidentally fall into the swamp.

Therefore, a considerable number of vehicles are equipped with such large screws for advancing in swampy areas.

As if they were dancing on the swamp, they formed a fan-shaped search queue and moved towards the front.

Inside a screw car, squad leader Shu De stood on top of the turret, looking ahead with a telescope, and suddenly his brows furrowed.

In the swamp area in front, there was a stream of black smoke!

This kind of black smoke can only come from the engine, and in this kind of place, if there is an engine, it can only be a vehicle, or even a tank!

Thinking of this, he was excited: "Report, found the target, there is a vehicle about three kilometers ahead."

Putting down the radio, he continued to pick up his telescope, seeing better now.

That's a Stalin tank!

Looking at the round turret and the thick barrel, you can see that this is the most powerful tank in the Soviet army at present, and it is only equipped for elite troops.

At the same time, this is the only tank that can threaten the Tiger tank from the side or the rear. I didn't expect to see it here!

Where there are such tanks, there must be the main force of the Soviets!

"Spotted the Stalin tank, with the main force of the Soviets ahead!" Shude shouted happily: "It's stuck in a mud puddle, and there are two tractors and a tank trying to pull it!"

The swamp is simply the natural enemy of vehicles. Those wheeled vehicles can only walk on the road, and it is impossible to enter the swamp.

For example, this Stalin tank has a lot of self-importance. Although it uses a diesel engine improved from the T-34 to increase its power, it still cannot be easily dragged, and when it enters the swamp, it is even more terrifying nightmare. experience.

"Buzz, hum!" Its diesel engine was running at full power at this time, emitting black smoke, but it was useless. Its entire body was almost submerged in the mud, and the tracks could not be seen. , only the turret above can be seen, with the roar, the car body does not move at all.

Two tracked tractors, just in front of it, want to pull it out of the swamp, and in front of the tractor, there is a BT-7 tank, three tracked vehicles are launched at the same time, one after another The black smoke came out of the engine, and the rumbling sound shook the sky and earth, but the Stalin tank didn't move, it sank even deeper!

A tank soldier reluctantly got out of the tank turret. He stretched out his hand, touched the mud below, and shouted something to the people in front of him.

At this moment, the screw car behind has rushed towards them!

The Soviet Stalin tank fell into the swamp, and we can capture this tank intact! The German scouts in the screw car were quite excited, and at the same time, the Soviets also discovered them!

This is how a battle began.
