Compared with mouse tanks, tiger tanks are smaller, such as the turret rotates faster, which means that aiming can be done faster.

Hans soon became proficient in the operation of the Tiger Tank tank. At this time, he and other Tiger tanks from the 3rd Company continued to march towards the battlefield.

Their goal is the reservoir in the eastern part of the city.

There was the water source of the whole city. If it was occupied, all the defenders would die of thirst. After Hans proposed this idea, he received strong support from Lieutenant General Nikolai Sopika, who sent the 7th Infantry Division, and with the help of German tanks, he advanced all the way to the reservoir.

The Romanian army's offensive intention was soon discovered by the defenders, so the defenders also set up many obstacles in the neighborhoods they were advancing.

Fierce battles are constantly going on.

"Boom!" With the huge roar, the tank's body trembled, and the turret was filled with smoke. The turret's smoking device was running at full power. After more than ten seconds, everything could be seen clearly in the turret.

"The target has been destroyed and you can continue to move forward," said Zwidi.

Although Germany did not hold any military exercises with Romania in the past, now in the battle, the cooperation between the two sides is quite tacit.

Romanian soldiers followed the tanks to protect German tanks from being approached by Soviet anti-tank hands. At the same time, the tanks were also clearing the fire points in front and providing them with firepower support.

Now that the tank cleared a machine gun fire point in front of it, the Romanian soldiers rushed forward immediately.

They avoided the tank's route, and although they did not train much in joint efforts, there was no accident like crushing.

"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, a violent explosion occurred among the Romanian soldiers, and several soldiers were blown away screaming.

Zwidi quickly searched for the target through the observation port in front, and at this time, the explosion continued to happen.

"At nine o'clock, there are Soviet mortars!" Zwidi shouted loudly.

The turret turned over, and Hans clearly saw in his sight that a curved shell was flying out just behind a building.

A huge Red Cross logo is painted on this building.

Aosad City Third Hospital.

Mortars were solid and durable, affordable, with strong firepower and easy to learn and use. For the Soviets who advocated artillery firepower, they even produced this weapon in large quantities. During World War II in history, the Soviet army produced a total of 348,000 mortars, which was one of the main fire suppression weapons.

If you briefly summarize, the mortar is a powerful and low-cost infantry weapon. Compared with the rifled gun, its barrel is very thin, so it is quite light in weight and can quickly throw high-efficiency ammunition at short distances.

During World War I, a variety of mortars were used, but most countries only use light mortars of up to 82 mm.

The Soviet Union, which had always liked to clean the caliber, quickly targeted this cheap and powerful weapon. The 120mm caliber mortar heavy mortar they designed - m1938.

The advantages of this gun are obvious. It is nine times lighter than howitzers with a caliber of 122mm, and one-twentieth of the weight of the 122mm gun. Moreover, the high rate of fire and the ability to hit targets with masks make it an effective weapon against enemy personnel.

Now, a group of mortar infantry squads are hiding behind the building and firing their own shells fiercely. They have calculated the ballistics in advance and opened fire immediately when the Romanians passed by!

"Boom!" Another shell exploded. This time, the heavy mortar shell landed two meters away from the Tiger tank. The huge explosion airflow made several people inside the tank numb.

The opponent is very cunning.

Mortars are curved-fired weapons, with a very curved trajectory that can be hiding behind a building and fired, but tank guns are direct-fired weapons. Now, the 88mm tank gun has great power but cannot directly hit the enemy hiding behind a building.

Especially, the other party was hiding behind the hospital building!

If, theoretically, the Soviet Union did not sign the Geneva Agreement, various battlefield conventions were not subject to favorable treatment and they could also attack targets like hospitals. But in fact, until now, the German army has always adhered to the battlefield conventions.

After all, Germany is the victorious side, and only the kind of enemy who is about to fail will counterattack wildly before dying, regardless of the constraints of various conventions.

Germany did not kill prisoners of war indiscriminately, nor did it attack civilian targets, but now the Soviets hid behind the hospital and attacked themselves!

"Turn the turret and rush over!" Zwidi gave the order.

Although Germany has never broken the convention, it does not mean that the German troops will be held back. Since the Soviets first used civilian targets, especially hospitals are still used as bunkers, don’t blame yourself for being rude!

Hans turned the turret and the barrel was backward. At the same time, he was also ready to bear the impact. Of course he knew what Zwiddie's order meant.

Bypassing the building? This will waste time. What’s even more terrifying is that if the other party sets up a trap here, it will definitely lay mines on the orbiting passages on both sides and blow off one’s tracks.

So, you have to be surprised, of course you will just hit the building and appear behind them!

The driver in front lowered his gear and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. The 730-horsepower diesel engine made a rumble sound and rotated at a high speed at 2200 rpm. The huge torque was transmitted to the tracks through the driving wheels, and the tank rushed towards the hospital building!

There is a gate on the front of the hospital building. If you enter from the door, you can enter directly without any impact. However, the driver did not do this. Instead, he hit the window with a place with a window more than ten meters away.

In an instant, everyone in the building became panic.

For the Soviet Union, the saying that everyone is a soldier is absolutely correct. This is a national war. Everyone must be a soldier. As long as you give orders, you have to pick up your weapons and go to the battlefield. If you don’t go, you will be shot immediately.

Now, the hospital here was originally a war-free zone. Even Romanian planes have avoided this area these days. However, the Red Navy soldiers have arranged this place into a good trap and are waiting for German tanks to take the bait.

They used heavy mortars to attract the other party's attention and let the other party come over. Whether it was around both sides of the building or through the hall in the middle of the building, they would be blown up by anti-tank mines. After that, they could rush forward and kill the German tankers.

As long as these tanks are killed, the Romanians' offensive pace will slow down.
