Chapter 1401 After the artillery fire

Malashenko’s risky gamble was right! In other words, the No. 239 Highland Artillery Position, which had great trust placed in it, lived up to expectations. It responded in time before the last moment when the German army rushed to the position, and accurately projected the artillery shells that had been prepared and stuffed into the barrel of the gun to be ready at any time. On top of his forehead, he completely reversed the situation that should have been extremely unfavorable to the Red Army.

The artillery shells that roared in like a mountain and tsunami were more accurate than Malashenko expected. Every artillery shell landed on the top of the German army's head or in the queue. There were no ill-aimed or inaccurate shots. It's an embarrassing situation on top of one's own head.

The artillery firepower of an entire reinforced artillery regiment inflicted great damage on the densely formed support German group.

The No. 239 Highland Artilleryman, who had not received the order to stop bombardment, was still firing wildly. The hot shells exiting the gun barrel stirred up the rain pits on the position, and emitted bursts of evaporating white smoke. The loader, whose arms were almost as thick as his thighs, waved the ejector rod in his hand, stuffed a new round of projectiles and propellant packs into the barrel again, and closed the breech.

"fire!!!"

boom--

The huge muzzle blast caused even the raindrops falling in the air to retreat, being blown away and stirred to the side. The whistling flying artillery shells once again crossed a straight line distance of nearly 20 kilometers and fell straight down. The number of German soldiers was so high that not even a scrap was left. x ̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́ ́՝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̌̌

Almost at the same time that the German army was bombed to such an extent that it could not be more miserable, Malashenko also basically finished handling the last bit of trouble at hand: killing the German soldiers who were circling around him like flies. Black Panther.

Among the many Panthers destroyed by Malashenko's troops, the death of the last Panther was the most miserable.

Perhaps it was because the tank soldiers had a limited field of vision and were unable to obtain the latest situation outside. There was only a burst of noise on the radio and the few German armor soldiers only knew how to fight to the death. They had no energy and no extra time to worry about what was happening outside the tank. how.

Therefore, until the final moment of the battle, the five German armored soldiers in this Panther never gave up, which is quite respectable.

A total of six Stalin heavy tanks fired their final main gun salvos at the Panther. Six 122mm full-caliber hooded armor-piercing bullets escaped from the barrel and hit the Panther's turret from different directions. The front, the left side of the turret, the left side of the car body, the right rear of the car body, and two shells penetrated the rear engine compartment of the car almost simultaneously and poured into the car from the rear.

The death of the black panther, which was torn into pieces in the huge explosion, was quite miserable. Basically, after the violent explosion, not even a complete trace of the wreckage was left, only a pile of twisted and deformed parts that were unrecognizable. The jet-black steel remained in place, and the turret had been blown away, leaving only a twisted mantlet with a breech.

As for people, needless to say, it may be to the point where you can’t even find a piece of meat.

Malashenko, who was watching the last Panther on the road, had no extra time to sigh or express admiration for the German armored soldiers who controlled the last Panther. As a division commander, Malashenko also There is much important work to be done, and no time to waste.

"Comrade Commander, the Germans were blown away! Not a single one of them ran out, ha! They were all covered inside!"

Kulbalov's excitement was palpable on the radio channel. It had been a long time since Kulbalov had seen a German being bombed into such a tragic state, and the feeling in his heart could not be described with a simple word "exhilarating". of.

It was not only Kulbalov who could see the fierce shelling outside the position, but also Malashenko, who was also sticking to his post.

"I saw it! Don't be stupid, Kurbalov! The German clown show is over, it's our turn! Bring your regiment and charge with me, Stalin Guards 1st Tank Division, attack!!!"

Strictly speaking, this is the moment Malashenko has been waiting for.

The German attack failed and stalled in front of the position. It could not advance even half an inch and suffered huge casualties. He still has strength on his side, and he has enough power to launch a counterattack. The only thing he has to do is to slap the German guy who doesn't know the heights of the sky to death in front of the position and finish the job.

Following Malashenko's order, the flanking troops deployed at the rear flanks of the position also moved at the wind, and the steel tracks began to roar forward amidst the roar.

Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division and the 4th Guards Tank Brigade, with more than 300 tanks of various types, divided into three groups from the battlefield and rushed out at full speed towards the enemies who were still shrouded in the shadow of death. Kill.

The German support troops that originally came to reinforce the friendly forces have now become a big piece of fat hanging in front of the position, about to be eaten and unable to protect themselves.

At the same time that the attack was launched, Hill 239, which received another report from Political Commissar Petrov, also stopped shelling. This crazy artillery barrage that lasted for a full half hour came to an end.

For the German army, this represents the end of an old nightmare, and it also represents the advent of another new nightmare and the imminent catastrophe.

"The Russians! The Russians are coming out! They are coming towards us, so many tanks!!!"

After the bombardment, the German soldiers, who were blown up to pieces and had stars in their eyes, had not had time to take a breath, but then they felt the tremor from the ground beneath their feet. That was a terrifying scene that could only be caused when a large enough number of tanks ran wildly together to cause a qualitative change.

"Hold, stop them here! Turn the turret and let the tanks fire!"

The commander of the German battle group shouted an order in his car. It was absolutely impossible for him to turn around and run away when the enemy was rushing into his face.

Not to mention the casualties caused by turning around and running away, even whether they can run away is a matter of two questions. The Russian tanks on the opposite side were so dark that anyone could see them as long as they were not blind. They were killed and crippled, suffered a lot of casualties, and lost most of their vehicles. Do you want to outrun the pursuit of Russian tanks that are good at maneuvering? I don’t think so even if I want to eat shit.

The King Tiger heavy tank with the strongest armor protection and the largest number of survivors in the previous shelling has become the absolute mainstay at this moment. Driven by the heavy turret, the slender and long 88mm main gun will soon The black muzzle was pointed at the target and ready to fire.

Malashenko, who witnessed all this in the periscope of the commander, did not have any mood swings or unnecessary nonsense. The only thought in his head was to rush forward despite the artillery bombardment, and then completely wipe out the last group of German soldiers who were stubbornly resisting in front of the position. Crush.
