Chapter 575: Like a Steel Knife, Stabbing Into the Enemy's Chest (Update 3181)

Chapter 575: Like a steel knife, stabbing into the enemy's chest (Update 31/81)

Schultz only saw the moment when the thing behind the bastard tank fired.

The rising rocket immediately went out of the field of view of the observation window, and even if Schultz lay on the observation window and looked up, he could not see it.

Then Schultz lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, the air was filled with a burnt smell, and the stench was hit on his face by the rolling heat, making people forget the extreme cold of minus 40 degrees in the severe winter.

After opening his eyes with great difficulty, Schultz's vision was full of burning flames. Empty ammunition boxes were burning, human bodies were burning, everything was burning, except himself.

He felt that the hot wind was blowing in the same direction, so he walked in that direction-at this time, his head was still in an idle state, and he could not think at all.

At this moment, someone grabbed his arm: "General! Don't go there! The exit is this way!"

He turned around and found that it was the adjutant.

The adjutant's head was injured, blood covered half of his face, and his clothes were all bloodstained.

Schultz was dragged by the adjutant and left the bunker that had become a hell on earth.

When he got outside, the adjutant dropped Schultz's hand, turned around and closed the door of the bunker, then heaved a sigh of relief and said to Schultz: "The enemy fired a big bomb, the bomb penetrated the top of the bunker, fell all the way down and exploded. I don't know what the situation is below, but we should leave now, otherwise the ammunition depot will explode and we will all be finished."

Schultz's brain finally worked at this time, he asked: "Is there no living person in the bunker?"

Adjutant: "I don't know, I closed the door just to prevent the fire from spreading outside the bunker, let's go quickly, general! Return to the headquarters and make a long-term plan! The enemy's new tank may be very powerful, but it is not impossible to deal with it! It didn't fire again, maybe the turret ring has been stuck.

"We did the same thing when we dealt with KV last year, just doing it again! "

Schultz: "Yeah... Yeah... Just do it again."

At this time, the two left the bunker group of the anti-tank artillery platoon and entered the trench.

Then an Ante soldier appeared in front of them.

The adjutant raised his MP40 and fired. The Ante soldier might have been stunned by Schultz's rank and didn't react for a while. Several bullets pierced his chest.

"What's the situation?" Schultz asked.

The adjutant: "The elevator and tunnel leading to the ammunition depot were blocked, and the anti-tank artillery group used too much ammunition to attack the new tank. The Ante armor had no ammunition when it charged.

"The infantry entered the trench too late and failed to stop the Ante armored cavalry charge. Their infantry directly sat on the tank engine radiator cover and charged. They rushed to our position and jumped down to fight. We were caught off guard." The adjutant explained while dragging Schultz along the communication trench.

Finally, they reached the exit of the communication trench, and the barrel car that Schultz rode when he came to inspect was still outside.

The adjutant opened the door of the back seat, pushed Schultz in, jumped into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away.

As a result, he saw two T34 tanks and a group of Ante soldiers just after running a short distance.

The Ante people did not realize that it was the Prosen people when they saw the barrel truck coming over in a swagger. When the barrel truck passed by them, the Ante people realized something was wrong and shouted.

So the bullets of the PPSh hit the back of the barrel truck one after another, and the replacement tires hanging behind it were shot into a sieve.

Schultz shrank his neck and hid behind the spare wheel of steel, which was only the inner circle.

The bullet broke the window glass of the barrel truck, and the broken glass scratched the adjutant's face.

Fortunately, the area where the 16th Armored Grenadiers Division was stationed was already in the suburbs, with twisted streets and many buildings.

The adjutant turned the steering wheel sharply, and the car turned into an alley and ran along the alley.

Suddenly, a rack where locals were drying their fish appeared in front of the alley. The bucket truck hit it directly, and all the fish on the rack flew up.

A salted fish that was almost cooked fell on Schultz's face. He licked it for some reason, and it was so salty that his teeth grimaced.

The adjutant drove the bucket truck around in the alleys on the outskirts of the city, and when he jumped onto the street again, he actually arrived at the entrance of the division!

The staff officers of the division were busy in front of two gasoline barrels that were on fire, constantly throwing documents and maps into the gasoline barrels.

Schultz got out of the car and asked, "What are you doing?"

The staff officers stopped and looked at Schultz, their eyes widened in surprise.

"Go and call the chief of staff!" said one of the staff officers.

The chief of staff appeared immediately and was shocked to see Schultz: "I received a phone call from the front saying that you have been killed! So I took over the command temporarily, ordered the burning of documents, and prepared to retreat..."

"Retreat! We still have so many well-built positions and bunkers. We will not retreat. We will fight the enemy to the end!"

As soon as the voice fell, the light from behind Schultz illuminated the entire yard.

The staff all stared at his back with wide eyes.

Schultz sighed, turned his head slowly, and saw another mushroom cloud rising.

It seemed that another carefully constructed concrete fortress was completely destroyed.

Schultz was speechless for a moment and could only stare at the rising mushroom cloud in a daze.

Chief of Staff: "General, what are your instructions?"

Schultz suddenly came to his senses and ordered: "Immediately lay anti-tank mines on the main road. Rokossov's new weapon still uses tracks, and our anti-track mines can handle it perfectly!"

Chief of Staff: "The enemy is now overwhelmed, and our entire front has collapsed. The current regiment report below has confirmed at least two new assault guns. They are obviously specially designed to target bunkers, and the effect is very good.

"The explosive power of this thing can even lift a Panzer IV tank to the second floor!"

Schulz: "Think about it carefully. We have been suffering from Ant's new weapons since the summer campaign. What are the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Equipment Department doing! Where are the new weapons?"

The staff officers looked at each other.

Chief of Staff: "The key is what to do now."

Schultz: "What should we do? Of course we must resist continuously and report the situation to the headquarters! If we don't retreat this time, the Anters can defend Abawahan, and we can also defend Yarvik!"

At this time, a phone ringing came from the headquarters gate - because there was no artillery preparation for Rokossov's attack this time, the phone lines were basically open.

Schultz strode into the headquarters and picked up the phone receiver.

————

General Poker, commander of the Tenth Army Group, asked the moment the call was connected: "We saw a huge fireball flying into the sky in your division's defense area. What's going on?"

Schulz was a little incoherent on the other end of the phone: "Rokosov! Rokosov's masterpiece!"

Admiral Poker looked serious: "The fireball he created? That shouldn't be something a mortal can create, right?"

"He used two new types of armored vehicles. One looked square in front, without even a hole. It had a whole piece of armor plate with a steep angle to protect its fighting room." I don't know if the training from the military academy worked. , when Schultz began to report, he sounded much calmer.

Admiral Pork: "So that huge ball of light is a masterpiece of a new type of weapon? Did you suffer heavy losses?"

"The first line of our division has been breached. The new weapon only fired one shot and destroyed the largest support point on the defense line. It almost killed me! This weapon... is terrifying! Very terrifying!"

General Poker: "Do you have a way to deal with it? Do you need me to send the 14th Armored Division in reserve to counterattack?"

"No, Rokosov also has a new tank, which looks like a giant turtle. We concentrated eight PAK40s and one 88-meter cannon to shoot at him continuously, but we only jammed its turret seat!"

Admiral Poker was shocked: "What?"

On the outskirts of Arvik, Wang Zhongzai was sitting on the tank turret, listening to the conversation of the tank crews on the radio to pass the time.

At this time, the sound of an engine came from the back of his head. When he turned around, he saw a tank repair vehicle imported from the United States - all of Ant's production capacity was used to build trucks and tanks, and there was no spare capacity to produce these things.

Sitting in the body of the emergency repair truck was the "eldest disciple" whom Ke Jing had introduced before. He shouted to Wang Zhong from a distance: "General, are we late?"

Wang Zhong: "No, we hit the mine an hour ago. You guys came very quickly."

Wang Zhong was very unlucky when he drove a small tank this time. Not only was the turret seat jammed at a distance of 1,000 meters, but he also crushed an anti-tank mine while continuing to advance, causing the track to be blown off.

Reality is not a game. If the track is broken, it will be very troublesome to replace it. As for the turret seat ring being stuck, this is a problem that cannot be solved without waiting for a professional repair vehicle to come over.

Therefore, Wang Zhong could only tearfully hand over the task of wiping out a large number of enemies in the city to the T34s, and wait for the emergency repair vehicle to come up.

Finally, the emergency repair vehicle stopped in front of Wang Zhong's car.

Kejing's eldest disciple jumped out of the car, walked around the tank, and said, "You're a little broken. The track is a small problem. Just replace it. It won't take a long time to fix the turret seat."

Wang Zhong: "Then you should practice it first, and you can take the opportunity to do a protective capability analysis."

The "eldest disciple" had a wry smile on his face: "Forgive me, for the protection analysis, I'd better go to the test site and hit the captured enemy artillery a few times to see at what distance it can penetrate.

"The current analysis of protection capabilities based on visual inspection of shell scratches on vehicles is impossible to be accurate."

Wang Zhong: "Then write a report and talk about what problems you found during the inspection process and how you solved them. I think this is very important to Kejing, so that he can know how to modify the design in the next step. "

The "eldest disciple" nodded: "Okay, I will just write the report."

Wang Zhong nodded and asked the question he was most concerned about: "How long will it take to repair it?"

Disciple: "If you hurry up, you can move tomorrow night, and you can even participate in the night operations. I suggest you, general, drive the second one out and go into the city to fight. When the second one breaks down, the first one will be almost repaired." ”

Wang Zhong thought for a while and nodded: "What you said makes sense!"
