Chapter 1418 At Dawn

With the command from comrade division commander in advance, the next thing will be much easier to handle.

The Red Army tank soldiers, who originally regarded the Panther tanks in front of them as difficult targets, immediately became happy and grinned directly to their ears when they heard the words of the division commander.

Well, after waiting for a long time, it turned out that it was those crispy leopards that exploded as soon as they were hit. The brothers were so nervous that they even aimed at the turret accurately. The whole day was completely unnecessary.

Knowing the key battlefield intelligence, the Stalin heavy tanks immediately responded and turned their heavy turrets. The black muzzles were pointed directly at the heads of the Panthers instead of the turrets. They had already been stuffed into the barrels and were ready. The armor-piercing bullet fired roared out with a violent flash of muzzle flash.

boom--

The result after the explosion was exactly what Malashenko said.

The 122mm full-caliber hooded armor-piercing projectile penetrated directly through the Panther's heavily sloping front armor. The front of the car was immune to direct fire from the 85-mm gun, but it was as fragile as paper in front of the 122 Heirloom.

Once the 122mm hooded armor-piercing projectile, which is famous for its huge charge, penetrates the armor and is poured into the vehicle, the subsequent result is that the entire tank explodes on the spot and spirals into the sky.

This does not distinguish the specific models and types of German tanks. It applies to everything from the Panzer III and IV tanks to the Black Panther and King Tiger. The ammunition placed in the vehicle body is placed in front of such a large warhead charge. There is no possibility of escaping. The only result that will happen is that you will blow up all the ammunition, including the people and the ammunition.

The flying head of the Panther tank is no longer surprising to the Red Army tank soldiers. The huge tank body is like a steel crematorium after losing the narrow turret. From the empty turret ring, It kept spitting out tongues of orange-red fire, lighting up the surrounding night, licking the originally cold armor until it was hot and pitch-black.

There was not only one Black Panther who had such a situation, but all the Black Panthers whose armor was penetrated by 122 Heirloom's shot would probably end up with such a miserable end.

Compared with these Panthers, which at least have a large body space and stronger armor, those thin and quite mini Panzer IV tanks are even more unbearable. Once the huge power of the 122 heirloom is poured into these Panzer IV tanks, the explosive power of the ammunition, fuel and projectile warhead charges is enough to blow these much smaller Panzer IV tanks into a pile of pieces on the spot.

Quite a few Panzer IV tanks could not even be found intact after the loud noise. Various components and parts were blown away everywhere, and armor fragments were scattered everywhere like a roaring storm.

The huge, visually oppressive size of the Red Army's heavy tanks has already put tremendous pressure on German soldiers. Now coupled with the heavy casualties on our side and the continuous killing of various tanks, the German army really couldn't bear the hellish scene under the siege from three sides. The rout in the night quickly unfolded like a flood that burst a dam.

"Go, go quickly! Get out of here, the Russians are coming to kill you!"

"Let's go? Where can we go? If we run back, we won't be able to escape the Russian encirclement?"

"Then do you want to die here? If you don't want to die, then leave quickly!"

The sharp-eyed Malashenko held on to the periscope of the commander in front of him and clearly saw every move of the German army at the moment. The embarrassing scene of fleeing with his back to his own side in a panic was enough to make people laugh. The corners of Malashenko's mouth raised slightly. He reached out and grabbed the microphone beside him and spoke.

"All crews obey the order, catch up and crush those Germans! If your back is to us, run on their backs. Don't stop without my order!"

The time now is around one or two o'clock in the middle of the night. Not only is there no moon in the sky, it is also covered with dark clouds, and there is no light at all.

Once out of the illumination range of the flare, who knows what tricks those fleeing German sticks will play. This is not to say that Malashenko did not intend to pursue, but that he had no intention of ordering these German troops to lay down their weapons and raise their hands to surrender.

Malashenko didn't want to take the initiative to try something as difficult as capturing a prisoner in the middle of the night. Wouldn't it be worth the loss if he was shot by a German hiding in the dark?

It was a bit difficult to pursue in the dark, but while chasing upwards, with flares and headlights turned on, the visibility was at least within an acceptable range, which was better than worrying about catching German prisoners in the middle of the night.

If we surrender voluntarily, Comrade Lao Ma might even consider the feasibility.

But since the German guy doesn't have this idea, and Malashenko doesn't intend to be a compassionate bodhisattva, why should I care about you if you don't cherish your own life? You are not my fucking ancestor.

The Red Army troops, who were marching triumphantly, launched a fierce pursuit of the fleeing German troops. Although the battlefield situation was indeed dominated by Malashenko, it was helpless that the night battle, or the night pursuit, was really difficult. In the first fight, he was not adaptable in all aspects, and the actual performance of the troops was not in good condition. Malashenko, who knew this special situation, was helpless.

"Forget it, let's do our best. As long as we can defeat the Germans, we have completed the main task. We will discuss the rest after dawn."

With such a simple idea in mind, Malashenko led his troops to continue fighting, launching a frantic pursuit of the German troops who were fleeing and scattered.

The continuous explosions of guns and artillery were extremely dense and resounded throughout the day and night. Even after leaving the area illuminated by the flares, the bright fire produced by the exchange of fire could still illuminate most of the night sky, making the surrounding area as bright as During the day, it was difficult for anyone to see clearly what was happening in the darkness.

The moment the sky dimmed and dimmed, the battle came to an end. The final result of the fierce battle royale battle that lasted for a whole night was not as expected, ending with a complete victory for the Soviet army.

Malashenko, who had not slept a wink all night, had two strong panda eyes early in the morning. His whole person's spirit was a little sluggish, like a drug addict in withdrawal state.

The adrenaline that soared during the battle has long since faded away. Comrade Lao Ma, who was walking on the battlefield with strong energy, felt like his eyelids were fighting, and his walking posture was limping, as if he had sprained his foot. , it wasn’t until Kulbalov, who had just gotten off the car, came in front of him that he straightened his back.

"Comrade Commander, are you okay?"
