This was not very difficult for the Soviet army to fight on the ground and find the third line of defense built by itself based on the terrain and landform. Soon Kabaye got an accurate report.
"Report to Comrade Kabaye, the vanguard assault group has been 4,000 meters away. Please give instructions."
"Continue to attack and report the situation at any time."
"Three thousand meters."
"Two thousand meters."
"One thousand meters"
"Start incendiary bombs and flares."
Kabaye ordered the forward tank group to fire incendiary bombs at the third line of defense occupied by the German German army, of course, which played a role in lighting.
"Bump...bump..."
Kabaye's tank forward fired a fire bomb, but the German army also chose to fire some incendiary bombs and flares during this time. In an instant, a large area of the third line of defense was illuminated like daytime.
The entire Soviet tank army ran a little messy. After all, at night, the Soviet army's armor organization capabilities were still not comparable to those of the German army. It was said that the Soviet army, which had undergone a major purge, had a mess of quality.
With the help of incendiary bombs and flares, the forwards understood some general situations on the third line of defense. This line of defense was only equipped with some anti-tank guns, and the number was not particularly large, about fifty, but the barrels of these German anti-tank guns were particularly long.
The German anti-tank had a minimum caliber of 75 mm and 46 times. This kind of artillery had outstanding performance in World War II. Its armor-piercing power that could penetrate 94mm armor at a distance of 1000m and at an angle of 30 degrees was considered very satisfactory at the time. If it was fired at vertical armor, its penetration power was about 150, which would completely explode any Soviet tank.
"Shoot. Eliminate the anti-tank guns of the German devils first."
"Bang bang bang...bang bang bang...bang bang bang..."
"Report to Comrade Kabaye, the German devils have arranged about fifty anti-tank guns on three local defense lines, and the vanguard troops have launched a desperate charge. Request for the large force to reinforce immediately."
The German cannons and Soviet tank guns opened fire almost at the same time. Although the German 75mm anti-tank gun was powerful, the defense was only a thin steel plate, which could not block 37mm or 50mm anti-tank guns. Moreover, the Soviet vanguard tanks, the Soviet Union, were twice as many as those of the German anti-tank guns.
"Boom...bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..."
Soviet tanks still charge quickly, and the hits of moving tanks are much worse. In just a few dozen seconds, more than 50 light tanks of the Soviet army were destroyed, and half of the German anti-tank guns were destroyed.
The loss rate of 2 to 1. The German army can accept it, and the Soviet army can also accept it. The commander of the German assault group A is Ike, the commander of the Skeleton Army. The situation on the front line quickly reached Ike's command center, but Ike did not let the tanks and artillery groups behind the third line of defense open fire at this time. Ike was waiting, waiting for most of the Soviet armored troops to arrive at the third line of defense, and then gave them a big meal.
"Bang bang bang...bang bang..."
The Soviet tanks rushed to about 500 meters, and all of Germany's fifty anti-tank guns were silent. All of these anti-tank guns were destroyed by the Soviet vanguard tanks. More than 100 Soviet tanks were also destroyed. There were about 30 left, and these tanks continued to rush towards Germany's third line of defense.
Germany's 75mm anti-tank gun is still very powerful. But after all, it needs to meet the needs of infantry, which is that it must be lightweight. The 75mm-long anti-tank itself has reached 1,4 tons. In this case, an artillery squad can basically move the gun at a short distance. If thick steel plates are added, there is no way to move it at all.
This is the end of defence for power. This is also a reminder to Li Mo. How to achieve a balance between power and defense and have enough power. To solve this problem, you can only move this cannon to the chassis of the No. 4 tank. The chassis of the No. 4 tank weighs more than ten tons. It can completely offset the recoil of the cannon and be so maneuverable. Defensive and firepower have increased, not to mention that Germany's current No. 4 tank is not short of.
If this line of defense was defending fifty No. 4 self-propelled anti-tank vehicles, the more than 100 light tanks of the Soviet army could only be a delivery. The result is that all fifty anti-tank guns were destroyed, and the Soviet army lost more than 100 two tanks. This practice of giving up defense for the sake of power is not a wise move.
The remaining Soviet tanks charged very quickly. They thought that the German infantry at this time would be the lambs to be slaughtered, and more than 30 tanks on their side could easily break through this defensive position of the German infantry that had lost the support of anti-tank guns. The facts would soon make these arrogant Soviet troops pay the price.
“200 hundred meters.”
"Bang bang bang...did bang...bang bang..."
Soviet tanks kept firing German positions with coaxial machine guns, and artillery shells were frequently smashed to the positions. However, in addition to the burning incendiary bombs and fragmented anti-tank guns, none of the German infantry stretched their heads out of the trenches.
“150 meters.”
The German army did not respond. At this time, all the German infantry were squatting in the trenches, and there were a large number of "iron fists" in the trenches on the outer edge. These German soldiers did not tremble or tremble at all, but held the iron fists in their hands tightly and looked at their closest commands. They were waiting for their commanders. As long as the commanders did not issue orders, even if the Soviet tanks crushed their leaders, they would not flee in a hurry. This is discipline and rigor.
Each company or platoon of the German army sent an observer, and the small mirrors they carried with them could be used to observe the situation outside the trench. Of course, the small mirrors were also the target of machine gun shooting on Soviet tanks.
The range of the German "Iron Fist" anti-tank rocket has reached 150 meters, but the commanders on this line of defense are afraid that the Soviet tanks behind will not enter the range. If the tanks in front are destroyed by infantry, they will scare them away. So the commanders of this trench are waiting for the remaining thirty tanks of the Soviet army to enter the range.
“100 meters.”
“80 meters.”
"Bang bang bang..."
Three red signal flares were launched, which was the order. The "Iron Fist" anti-tank hand in the first trench on the third line of defense suddenly rose up and quickly aimed at the Soviet tanks near the size of the size with the iron fist in his hand. Of course, the Soviet tanks were still firing wildly at the first trench. Some German "Iron Fist" anti-tank hand would also be killed by such blind shooting. Of course, this situation is true, but there will definitely not be many. The comrades next to the anti-tank hand who was killed by the Soviet army will immediately go forward and pick up the "Iron Fist" anti-tank rocket on the ground and continue to aim at the Soviet tanks.
"Shit...shit...boom...boom..."
Hundreds of "Iron Fist" anti-tank rockets flew towards the Soviet tanks with long flames. The least Soviet tank would be divided into two "Iron Fist". The armor-breaking ability of these "Iron Fist" is about 80 mm. These Soviet light tanks were torn apart directly, and some of them exploded. More than 30 Soviet tanks were destroyed in a blink of an eye.
