"Boom!" The cannon on the tank turret roared again, painted with a spring camouflage that looked very ugly. This German Tiger tank even had some figures on the turret that were unclear, but if someone By careful identification at close range, the number 113 can still be seen.
This tank used to be the number one tank of the German army. The number of enemy tanks destroyed could be equipped with a tank reinforcement battalion. The commander of this tank was a ruthless killing machine. He was confirming his artillery with a telescope. Long record.
"About 910 meters! A kv-1 heavy tank! Hit! Destroy the target completely!" He shouted loudly: "armor-piercing shells, reload. Alice ... watch out for the infantry! They are firing at me!"
Just as he directed the tank to continue firing, a bullet hit the tank hatch behind him, splashing a spark. The Soviet troops on the front are firing in his direction, and some Soviet soldiers are holding their guns to aim and shoot.
"I'm changing bullets! Wait a minute!" Alice pressed the chain into the barrel of the gun, pulled the bolt with a clatter, and then re-targeted the Soviet infantry in front: "Okay! Leave it in front of me!" She While talking, the machine gun was buckled, and the bullets spilled out like raindrops, knocking down the Soviet infantry more than two hundred meters from the front.
Then Alice began to swing horizontally with the machine gun, and the dense g42 machine gun bullets swept into a fan surface. Dozens of Soviet soldiers in this fan surface were knocked down on the ground, and the opponent's fire was suddenly suppressed.
Ren showed his head to continue to observe the movement of the Soviet army in the distance. The outsourcing of the Soviet Red Army ’s wings was obviously failed. About 20 Soviet tanks in three directions were paralyzed by the smoke. There was no one on the road beside the forest. Soviet tanks were able to cross the highway and drive down the highway. Of course, the Soviet infantry did cross the road, but they were suppressed by the machine guns of several tanks and had lost nearly 200 people.
This small asphalt road, known as Route 9 by the Germans, became the cemetery of Soviet tanks. The wreckage of these Soviet tanks smoked thick smoke and flames, making it look like hell. If coupled with the bodies of the Soviet Red Army infantry lying on the ground, the Soviet army has already paid a heavy price in order to advance so only two kilometers.
"Marcus! With smoke, the wings retreat first. Bowman! Continue to reverse and turn away from the battle! 115 and 114 go first." Renn estimated the time while commanding the battle. He felt that with the last experience, this time the Soviet shelling should come early, so he decisively issued an order to retreat.
Marcus was n’t kidding this time. The smoke generator on his tank immediately sprayed thick white smoke. It took only ten seconds to submerge his tank in the smoke. They started their retreat once, but after two consecutive snipers, they got the record of about 45 enemy tanks belonging to their company.
"Boom!" Sure enough, their tanks began to retreat not long after, the first shell from the Soviet artillery landed on the original German tank position, only a few tens of meters away from the last tank 111 that began to retreat. . However, the Soviet artillery apparently did not carry out extended firing, and the artillery shells landed densely near the German ambush position.
"Ryan! You feel really accurate now." The captain of the 114 tank looked at the enemy shells that fell one hundred and ten meters behind him, and he couldn't help but sighed: "I'm getting more and more I admire you. "
"So I don't even have the commander, I ran to him as a man." Marcus happily, as if the other party was boasting about him.
"Bauman. Check the remaining oil." Ignoring everyone's jokes and touted, Ren suddenly spoke on the shaking tank.
"Half way." Soon, the driver Bowman replied.
"All turned around, let's call back!" Ren said with a smile, pressing the throat talker: "Did you see the grove, rest there for fifteen minutes and add the spare barrel of oil to the tank? And start fighting back. "
"I knew it! I was absolutely irritated with you!" Marcus was afraid that things would be less, and he laughed loudly on the side: "Fight back! Counterattack! Hit the group of Soviets!"
Soon, with the roar of the engine, five German Tiger tanks were killed and returned to the vicinity of the road, where they collided with the remaining troops of the 1st Regiment of the Soviet Guard Tank.
When the sleepy Soviet soldiers watched in horror as five German tanks crossed the fence and the low wall, rushed out of the paddy field and entered the Soviet tank unit station that had just stopped and rested, they finally knew that they were in the eyes of the German tank driver How naive is it?
Without sending out scouts and reconnaissance outposts, where the Soviet offensive troops wanted to get the German tanks back and forth, most Soviet tankers left the tanks to go to the toilet and cook. This unit did not even arrange one for the alert tank. Everyone, including the leader, was unprepared.
So a massacre of German tanks began like this. When Rennes received a call from the radio and ordered him to evacuate the battlefield and give the front to the strengthened German Grenadier, he and the five tanks under him He returned to the road and destroyed 29 Soviet tanks.
In the battle known as the Battle of Route 9, five German Tiger tanks destroyed 74 tanks of the Soviet offensive force with the most classic tactical arrangement. The entire teaching team destroyed an average of nearly 15 tanks per tank.
In this battle, the German armored forces first laid an ambush in the woods. After ambushing the Soviet armored forces, they quickly withdrew and laid an ambush again near Highway 9. The Soviet Red Army once again ran into the Germans due to lack of battlefield experience The ambush position lost a lot of troops.
Then Rennes retreated decisively, and then unexpectedly led the only five Tiger tanks to make a bold counterattack, making the Soviet troops that thought the Germans once again retreated and ambushed their own Soviet troops caught off guard. They were unexpectedly armoured by the German army. The troops repelled, not to mention the heavy losses, but also gave up the already occupied roads and nearby areas.
It can be clearly seen from this battle that the most elite troops on both sides, the 502 heavy tank destroyer battalion against the 1st regiment of the Soviet guard tank, the experience gap between the two is still very large, although the Soviet troops suffered heavy losses in the battle Still not defeated, showing a very high fighting determination, but in front of the experienced Germans, it was nothing more than casualties.
This battle was reported to the frontline highest command by the Soviet elite Guards 1st Tank Army, and Khrushchev was excited for a long time because he finally found the position of the German elite armored forces. He ordered the two units of the nearby Guards 1st Tank Group Army and 3rd Tank Group Army to flock to the rear of the German position to look for a decisive battle for the drivers of the main German forces.
On the evening of April 6, there was still no point of calmness in the battle position for a day. Soviet troops took advantage of the German Air Force ’s inability at night and launched an offensive . They poured hundreds of thousands into the breakthrough German positions. Hope These breakthroughs could be expanded, but it was found that the Germans on both wings seemed to be prepared early. After a few hours of engagement, the Soviet Red Army did not expand the breakthroughs.
At this moment, on the battle map of the Soviet front command, Khrushchev's German defense positions presented in front of him became more and more regular and more and more scary. Throughout the preset defensive positions, regular shapes of dog-tooth-like staggered walls began to appear, and Khrushchev realized that the German positions that he had breached earlier might have been intentionally given to him by his opponent.
"How could their defensive position be this shape?" Khrushchev murmured while looking at the map.
"Political commissar ... We entered these forces on the other side, if the other side started to encircle from the two wings." A general said to the side.
"This ..." Khrushchev clenched his fists, as if struggling inside, he didn't want to give up the positions he had already captured, and he was also reluctant to admit that his offensive would return without success.
But he was still scared after all. He was afraid of his mistakes and decided to let the main force of the Red Army suffer a fatal loss. Know that the troops in his hands are the elite troops that the Soviet Union has accumulated for many years. If the loss is on the front line, he returns to Moscow to estimate Will be swallowed and removed by Stalin.
Therefore, Khrushchev sent a telegram to Stalin overnight, hoping that Stalin would give him this half-stretched military commander's idea, and also shirk some of his responsibilities. Fortunately, when problems arise in the future, he will not be too passive. .
Of course, Khrushchev also issued an order at the same time tomorrow morning when the troops began to withdraw and build fortifications on the two wings of the existing occupied area to ensure that their troops were not annihilated by the Germans. And during this long second half of the night, Khrushchev decided to keep his offensive situation in check, in case some progress can be made, proving that the shape of this quirky defensive position is actually just a coincidence?
So, in the dark night, Soviet soldiers and frontline commanders were waiting for the early morning, because they could make a limited retreat as soon as the morning arrived, making their dangerous flanks safer; German troops were also waiting for dawn, because According to the pre-planned counter-attack plan, the dawn is their horn to counter the invaders.
On the long night of April 6, everyone is waiting for the first light of the morning and waiting for the moment to decide their destiny.
