The first thousand three hundred and eighty first chapters
"Fire!" The right wing of the German tank troops, five thousand meters away, were coming out of heavy howitzers.
The ambush position was carefully selected. The Stalin tanks here were already fierce and cruel enough, but not enough. On the other side, Temuxingo supported the heavy howitzer troops to Rokosovsky were lying here!
Sixteen heavy 152mm howitzers lined up, their muzzles were upwards, and they were ready to go.
Yes, these are heavy howitzers, m1937 howitzers.
This howitzer was improved from the m1910/34 152mm howitzer. As a prototype, it is the main force of long-range coverage of the Soviets.
In fact, it can fire armor-piercing bombs, which can penetrate 124mm of armor at a distance of 1000m. If it is swung open, it can easily destroy the tiger tank with armor-piercing bombs.
There is no problem in attacking from the side, not to mention that the German tanks are now being mobilized, and they are all facing the back of the head, so they can be easily killed.
But Rokosovsky did not.
First of all, of course, it is because the howitzer unit does not have armor-piercing bombs at all. This type of bomb is not the main type of bombs of the howitzer unit, so the amount of equipment is very small.
Secondly, even if there is, Rokosovsky would not place his gun group one thousand meters, which is too dangerous.
As for the terrifying and accurate German shooting, the distance of one thousand meters is quite close. The Germans have a very high hit accuracy, which will lead to an ending. They can only fire one shot at most. When the Germans find that the back of their heads are hit, they will immediately turn the turret and fire at them.
Then, the howitzer position will be shrouded in a terrible 88mm rain of bullets, and his cannon group will be finished.
What's more, it is difficult to find a suitable ambush position. It is no longer easy to find a hard ground in the swamp on the left to arrange your own Stalin tanks. It is impossible to find an ambush position one thousand meters away on the right.
Even if you find it, would you dare to arrange it?
The Stalin tank itself has the power, and if it is not good, it can retreat. What about those towing howitzers? It is quite slow to pull on the tractor, and it is definitely a hit.
The shooting accuracy of howitzers will not be very high at a distance of 5,000 meters. However, if you prepare in advance, it will be different. With accurate coordinates, you can determine the most suitable shooting elements and shoot very accurately!
"Boom, boom!" The huge sound of artillery bombardment on the howitzer position was deafening. A famous artillery soldier pulled the cannon rope and flew out with a stream of black smoke from the muzzle. The howitzer weighing several tons unconsciously retreated one or two meters.
Reset, and then fire again!
The gun group was fiercely shooting at the target area, which was the most sad and angry for the German tank troops.
At this time, all the tanks completed the steering in unison, aiming at the Stalin tanks over there, and almost at the same time, black smoke rose up five kilometers behind, and 152mm grenades roared.
"Boom!" When a grenade was firing, the elevation angle was slightly higher, causing it to hit the left side of the road, and a large pit was exploded. Countless mud splashed and splashed in front of the tiger tank.
Large-caliber grenade! Only large-caliber grenades can blow out mud that covers more than a dozen tanks on its own. It is definitely not a 122mm grenade, but a 152mm!
At this moment, the well-trained German tank soldiers reacted. The tank captain eagerly turned his periscope to find where the shells came from.
"Boom!" The second grenade hit the back of a Tiger tank.
Amid the huge explosion, a large hole was blown open on the deck behind the Tiger tank, and the diesel engine inside was blown up and the fire was blown up.
Huge flames emerged, and several people in the turret ran out quickly.
The most effective method to deal with tanks is armor-piercing bombs, but if it is a large-caliber grenade, it is still lethal. If the grenade warhead explodes, it will directly blow up the armor, which is the same as using anti-tank grenades.
If it hits the front armor, it might be able to withstand it, but now it hits the back armor, it can't stand it anymore.
"Boom!" Another 152mm grenade exploded, and the mud splashed and it was impossible to see clearly everywhere.
Being attacked from both sides, in an instant, the 66th Armored Battalion experienced the most dangerous situation.
If they continue to attack Stalin tanks, they will be hit by howitzers behind them. If they want to turn to the opponent's howitzer position, the back of their turret will be greeted by Stalin tanks again!
"Boom, boom!" In an instant, the Soviets were in full swing, and victory was right in front of them!
The Stalin tanks continued to fire violently, and fired at the Tiger tanks opposite, and each tank soldier was extremely excited.
Over the years, German tanks have brought tremendous pressure to various countries. German tanks have surpassed this era. When tanks from other countries are still hovering around ten tons, Germany is a thirty-ton monster.
Now, Germany has more than 50 tons of Tiger tanks. This terrifying tank has brought heavy pressure to the Soviet Union, so that as long as it can kill a Tiger tank, it will be called a tiger trainer and is the most respected.
The arrogant German tiger tank has now entered the ambush circle and is being taught by the Soviet troops. It is not one or two, but dozens of vehicles! "Boom!" Another explosion. This time, a Stalin tank was hit by an armor-piercing bomb shot from the opposite side, and a terrible explosion occurred immediately. At this critical moment, the German tank soldiers did not forget their mission and fought!
But almost at the same time, the Tiger tank was hit by a grenade and the same explosion occurred!
If there could be a one-to-one exchange ratio, it would definitely be beneficial to the Soviets, because what they were most afraid of was the war of attrition.
The German tank troops are in danger!
"General Rokosovsky, you will definitely be recorded in history today's battle." Koroya sighed: "Moscow will be quite satisfied with our battle today!"
Until now, all fronts have been defeated, and the Soviet army is retreating step by step. Now, a star of general is rising, and Rokosovsky has caused the Germans' crazy arrogant tank troops to suffer a defeat!
Rokosovsky was not excited at all. On the battlefield, he should not underestimate the enemy and always keep a clear mind. The failure of the German tank troops this time was mainly because of underestimating the enemy. If their scouts investigated on both wings, the hidden Stalin tanks on their own side would definitely be discovered.
By the way, where are their scouts?
Picking up the telescope and observing the battlefield, Rokosovsky's face changed a little: "Order our cannon group to stop shooting and transfer immediately!"
