Chapter 505 We Will Be Found Under the Ruins

Romanov's tank was assigned to a place called Unknown Hill.

When the tank arrived, Proshen's tank was rushing up the hill.

Romanov put down the telescope and shouted in surprise: "I didn't see the long-barreled No. 4! They are all short-barreled No. 4 and No. 3 tanks with short 50 guns! We can kill them all!"

The gunner had the experience of participating in the war last year, so he said: "Be careful, Proshen's tank soldiers are very elite, they may break our tracks and then jam our turrets."

"Before that, let's kill them all first!" Romanov said confidently, "Turn the turret left five degrees, the driver shifts gears, and moves forward slowly!"

Tanks like KV can slow down and shoot while moving, which is more accurate than emergency stop shooting and has a faster reaction speed, because the KV emergency stop barrel will shake up and down, but it has to wait until it stabilizes before firing.

The Proshen tank was still busy fighting with the infantry on the position and did not notice the approaching KV at all.

"Armor-piercing shells, good!" the loader shouted.

The gunner opened fire without saying a word.

The shell hit the side of the No. 3 tank turret in the blink of an eye, and the explosion engulfed most of the body of the car.

"Good!" Romanov couldn't help but pound the turret cover, "Keep going, turn the turret 10 degrees to the left!"

As the turret began to turn, the loader's voice rang out in the inner line: "Armor-piercing shells, good!"

At the same time, the KV body machine gun began to fire, and the tracer bullet barrage crossed the trench and fell into the skirmish line of Prosen, forcing the skirmish line that had just stood up to lie down again.

"Good! Good fight!" Romanov praised while picking up the anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof, adjusted the scale, and fired at the Prosen people.

Amid the sound of machine gun fire, the main gun fired for the second time.

The entire turret of the Prosen tank that was hit flew into the sky, flew more than ten meters, and then fell heavily.

At this time, the Prosens finally found the KV, and the 50mm gun of the No. 3 tank immediately fired.

Because there was no time to switch ammunition, the first round that hit the KV was a high-explosive shell, which cut Romanov's tank cap in half and broke the crossbar of the earphone.

Romanov was quick-witted and grabbed the earphone that was about to slide down with one hand, and continued to fire with the machine gun with the other hand.

The KVs of the 21st Heavy Tank Regiment were all improved. In addition to welding additional steel plates to enhance protection, they were also equipped with the latest DShK machine guns. The machine guns also used the latest self-balancing gun mounts, which only required a small amount of force to control the machine guns to fire.

Romanov: "The turret continues to turn left, the target is aiming at our No. 3!"

Gunner: "I see it! Commander, come in quickly! It's too dangerous to stick your body out."

Just as Romanov was about to answer, the high-explosive shell fired by the short-barreled No. 4 hit the tank's track, as if trying to use the explosion to break the track.

The shock wave of the explosion scratched Romanov's eyes and he could only shrink into the tank.

Then, because he was in the tank and had no headphones, the roar inside the tank immediately made him frown.

Gunner: "The target has been destroyed! Please instruct the next one!"

Romanov: "What?"

"The next target!"

Romanov still couldn't hear, but he guessed what the gunner said and hurriedly looked for the target through the observation port of the commander's tower.

"Turn left--"

"What?"

Romanov put the microphone next to his mouth: "Turn left 7 degrees! No. 4 is firing high-explosive bombs at us--"

The next moment, the smoke bomb fired by No. 4 hit KV.

A large amount of white smoke was about to cover the entire field of vision.

Romanov cursed: "Another smoke bomb! Sukabulie! Proson people, just hold on to your smoke bombs and die! Go forward! Get out of the range of the smoke bomb! Turn the turret right, there is still vision on the right! Turn right 40 degrees, not 50 degrees!"

The turret began to turn right, but the second smoke bomb was fired.

Romanov: "Keep maneuvering, fire the moment you rush out of the smoke! The gunner depends on you!"

"Got it!"

The tank engine roared, and Romanov lay on the observation window, his eyes almost embedded in the narrow opening.

Finally, the smoke dispersed-no, it was the tank that rushed out of the smoke.

Romanov: "Quick! Fire! While the enemy doesn't fire new smoke bombs!"

Gunner: "Fire!"

The gunpowder gas ejected from the main gun temporarily obscured the view, but the gas was immediately left behind by the speeding tank. Romanov clearly saw that the hit No. 4 tank was smoking. Although there was no open fire, the Proson tankmen were jumping out of the tank one after another.

Then a submachine gunner suddenly emerged from the trench and fired at the fleeing Proson tankmen.

The gunner shouted: "The Proson tanks are reversing! They are running away!"

Romanov: "Good! Great! Chase them and kill them all!"

As he spoke, the KV drove to the highest point of the nameless hill.

The front suddenly became clear.

The second echelon of Proson waiting in the distance suddenly entered Romanov's field of vision.

"Sukabulie!" Romanov muttered.

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen of the 1st Armored Battalion of the 9th Armored Division of the 14th Proson Armored Corps observed the nameless hill from his command tank and clearly saw the second Type 4 being destroyed.

He picked up the microphone, adjusted the radio, and asked: "First Company, what happened? What destroyed your tanks one after another?"

The radio immediately responded: "Battalion Commander, it's a KV. It looks like it has additional armor plates welded on it. We can deal with it."

"If you can't deal with it, retreat."

"We can deal with it!" The commander of the first company was very tough.

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen: "I understand. I'll leave it to you. But with your weapons and equipment, it's not shameful to retreat in the face of KV."

The reason why the first company was sent to attack was that the first company was equipped with old vehicles, and they would not feel sorry even if they were lost in the meat grinder. The No. 3 and No. 4 of the second echelon were all new vehicles with long-barreled guns.

That's right, the No. 3 company also replaced the new vehicle with a 50mm gun. These vehicles all have the ability to directly penetrate the KV tank from the front.

Of course, the commander of the first company just reported that the KV had new welded armor, and the 50mm gun might not be able to penetrate its front.

But Lieutenant Colonel Hansen was very confident in the long-barreled gun on the No. 4.

At this time, another Plossen tank was destroyed on the top of the nameless hill.

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen picked up the microphone, but after thinking about it, he put it down. He decided to trust his company commander.

Another No. 3 was destroyed, and Lieutenant Colonel Hansen just watched with a telescope.

He saw the members of No. 3 jump out of the car and run backwards, but they were all knocked down by the ANT submachine gunners who rushed out of the trench.

Even so, he was unmoved, just counting the time for the KV to reload in his heart. Lieutenant Colonel Hansen faced the KV tank when he was the commander of the armored company last year, and he knew the performance of this behemoth very well.

He counted quickly, but no new tanks were destroyed.

It seems that the company commander chose to release smoke and block the KV's line of sight.

Correct determination-Lieutenant Colonel Hansen thought so.

If the KV wants to rush out of the smoke, it must get close to the tanks of the first company, so that it can surround it, break the tracks, and jam the turret seat ring.

Just as he thought so, another friendly tank was hit.

He picked up the microphone again——

However, the tanks of the first company began to retreat, which means that the company commander also judged that if they continued to deal with this KV with their own strength, the losses would be too great.

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen looked at the long-barreled No. 4 with tactical number 210 next to him: "William! Your car shoots, and try to kill the KV with one shot."

The commander of No. 210 gave a thumbs up, and he pressed the microphone on his neck and said something, and the tank's turret began to turn, and the elevation machine began to rise.

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen continued to look at the top of the hill with a telescope.

Because the engine noise of the friendly forces was too loud, he could not hear the engine noise of the KV.

Finally, the green tank appeared.

There was no red flag.

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen was vaguely disappointed, but thinking carefully, that Rokosov was already the commander of the front, and he should not drive the tank to the front in person.

He raised his right hand and signaled to No. 210.

The long barrel of No. 210 aimed at the KV.

"Fire!" Lieutenant Colonel Hansen's hand cut down like a gate knife.

Vehicle No. 210 opened fire.

The armor-piercing shells hit the front armor of the KV like lightning, leaving a flaming circle on the armor.

The next moment, the engine compartment at the rear of the KV exploded, and an orange-red fireball rose up.

Then the open flames came out from the tank turret ring and surrounded the turret.

No tanker jumped out, at least not now.

Lieutenant Colonel Hansen turned his head and nodded to the commander of vehicle No. 210, who took out a canteen and drank a sip of water.

When Romanov woke up, his first reaction was that he was very hot.

He looked to the side and the entire tank was already red.

The gunner and loader fell in the turret, motionless, and their blood had stained their uniforms red.

After understanding the situation, Romanov picked up the only submachine gun in the tank and climbed out of the turret through the hatch that he had not had time to close.

He saw a Prosen soldier approaching the tank at first sight, so he picked up his submachine gun and wanted to shoot, but when he pulled the trigger, he found that the gun was not loaded.

He pulled the bolt handle and fired at the Prosen soldiers on the turret.

The next moment, a rifle bullet hit his forehead.

Romanov leaned back, using his last will to fight against the tendency to fall. At this moment, he and his tank were like a statue.

His hand lost strength first, and the submachine gun slid onto the tank body with a muffled sound.

Romanov wanted to shout, wanted to curse the Prosen devils, and wanted to say goodbye to his wife far behind, but the sinful bullets hit him one after another.

He finally rolled off the turret and fell on the burning engine radiator cover. The fire made his muscles spasm and rolled passively.

He rolled to the position like this, his face buried in the mud.

The half of his eyes exposed were wide open, looking at the burning position.
