Chapter 1383 Enemies on Both Sides

"Fire!" On the right flank of the German tank unit, at a distance of 5,000 meters, the heavy howitzers appeared with murderous intent.

The ambush position was carefully chosen. The Stalin tank here was fierce enough, but it was not enough. On the other side, Timoshenko supported the heavy howitzer unit for Rokossovsky, and was ambushed here. !

Sixteen heavy 152mm howitzers were lined up with their muzzles raised, ready to launch.

Yes, these are heavy howitzers, M1937 howitzers.

This kind of howitzer is improved from the M1910/34 152mm howitzer. As the prototype howitzer, it is the main force of the Soviet's long-range coverage.

In fact, it can launch armor-piercing projectiles, which can penetrate 124mm armor at a distance of 1000m. If it is opened, the armor-piercing projectile can easily destroy the Tiger tank.

Attacking from the side is no problem at all, not to mention that the German tanks are just being mobilized now, all facing the back of the head, and they can be easily killed.

But Rokossovsky didn't do that.

First of all, of course, because this howitzer unit has no armor-piercing projectiles at all, this kind of projectile is not the main projectile of the howitzer force, so the number of equipment is very small.

Secondly, even if there is, Rokossovsky will not arrange his artillery group to the position of one thousand meters, it is too dangerous.

In terms of the terrifying and accurate shooting of the Germans, the distance of one thousand meters is quite close. The Germans have a very high hit accuracy. This will lead to an ending. They can only fire one shot at most. When the Germans find the back of the head When hit, it immediately turns around the turret and fires at them.

Then, the howitzer positions will be enveloped in a terrible rain of 88mm shells, and his battery will be finished.

What's more, it's hard to find a suitable ambush position. It's not easy to find a hard ground in the swamp on the left to arrange your Stalin tanks. If you want to find an ambush a thousand meters away on the right position, simply impossible.

Even if you find it, do you dare to arrange it?

The Stalin tank has its own power, and if it goes bad, it can retreat. What about those towed howitzers? Relying on a tractor to pull, the speed is quite slow, and it is definitely looking for a beating.

The shooting accuracy of the howitzer is not very high at a distance of five kilometers, but if you prepare in advance, it will be different. With accurate coordinates, you can determine the most suitable shooting Zhuyuan, which can be very easy. Shoot with precision!

"Boom, boom!" On the howitzer position, the loud shelling sound was deafening. A famous artilleryman pulled the gun rope, and as a black smoke flew out from the muzzle, the several-ton howitzer retreated unconsciously. A meter or two.

Reset, then fire again!

For the German tank troops, this day was the most sad and angry day for the German tank troops, as the artillery group was violently covering the target area.

At this time, all the tanks turned in unison, aiming at the Stalin tank over there, and almost at the same time, five kilometers away, black smoke rose, and 152mm grenades roared.

"Boom!" When a grenade was fired, the elevation angle was slightly higher, causing it to hit the left side of the road, blasting a large pit, and countless mud splashed in front of the Tiger tank. .

Large caliber grenade! Only a large-caliber grenade can blast out enough mud to cover more than a dozen of our own tanks. It is definitely not a 122mm grenade, but a 152mm!

At this moment, the well-trained German tank crew reacted, and the tank commander eagerly turned his periscope to find out where the shells came from.

"Boom!" The second grenade smashed into the back of a Tiger tank.

With the loud explosion, the deck behind the Tiger tank was blasted with a large hole, and the diesel engine inside was blown up.

Huge flames emerged, and several people in the turret ran out quickly.

The most effective way to deal with tanks is armor-piercing shells, but if it is a large-caliber grenade, it is still lethal. The explosion of the warhead of the grenade will directly blow up the armor, which is the same as using anti-tank grenades.

If it hit the front armor, it might be able to carry it over, but now that it is hitting the rear armor, it can't carry it.

"Boom!" Another 152mm grenade exploded, and the mud splashed, making it impossible to see everywhere.

In an instant, the 66th Armored Battalion experienced the most dangerous situation.

If they continue to fight Stalin tanks, they will be hit by howitzers in the back, and if they turn to hit each other's howitzers, they will be greeted by Stalin tanks in the rear of their turrets!

"Boom, boom!" In an instant, the Soviets were boiling, and victory was at hand!

One after another Stalin tanks continued to fire violently, firing at the Tiger tanks on the opposite side. Every tank soldier was extremely excited.

Over the years, German tanks have brought enormous pressure to various countries. German tanks are simply beyond this era. When the tanks of other countries are still hovering around ten tons, Germany is a thirty-ton monster.

And now, Germany has more than 50 tons of Tiger tanks. This terrible tank has brought so much pressure to the Soviet Union that as long as a Tiger tank can be killed, it will be called a tiger tamer. is the most admired.

The mighty German Tiger tanks have now entered the ambush circle and are being taught a lesson by the Soviet troops, not one or two, but dozens of them! "Boom!" There was another explosion. This time, a Stalin tank was hit by an armor-piercing projectile from the opposite side, and a terrible explosion occurred immediately. At this critical juncture, the German tank soldiers did not forget their mission. !

But almost at the same time, the Tiger tank was also hit by a grenade at the rear of the turret, followed by the same explosion!

If there is a one-to-one exchange ratio, it will definitely be beneficial to the Soviets, because the last thing they are afraid of is a war of attrition.

German tank troops are at stake!

"General Rokossovsky, today's battle, you will definitely be recorded in the history books." Koroya said with a sigh: "Moscow will be quite satisfied with our battle today!"

Up to now, battles have been lost on all fronts, the Soviet army is in retreat, and now, a star is rising, Rokossovsky, the German maddening and invincible tank force Eat a defeat!

Rokossovsky was not excited at all. On the battlefield, one should never underestimate the enemy and keep a clear mind at all times. The failure of the German tank troops was mainly because they underestimated the enemy. If their scouts were to scout the two flanks , those hidden Stalin tanks on our side will definitely be discovered.

By the way, what about their scouts?

Picking up the binoculars and observing the battlefield, Rokossovsky's face changed a bit: "Order our artillery group to stop firing and move immediately!"
