Chapter 1756 Long-standing reputation

"This damn monster, this damn Russian! Why can't we break through it!?"

"Shut up! It's useless no matter how much you shout! Reload the armor-piercing bullets and keep shooting! Change the position this time!"

The gunner's bad complaints and the commander's scoldings spread throughout the radio channel, and the German armored troops, who were already in a hurry, did not even have time to turn off the public channel.

Lavrinenko couldn't hear what the hell was shouting on the German radio channel, but this did not prevent Lavrinenko from using his own eyes to see what was happening on the battlefield and the situation before him.

There was something obviously wrong with the first shot fired by the German tank, which was precisely timed and seized the opportunity. Lavrinenko concluded that the Germans' past behavior and the accuracy of their main guns, which they were proud of, were not quite right. It is said that when accurate firing at a distance of one kilometer is the norm, it is obviously too abnormal to close the distance to only 700 or 800 meters before firing.

If combined with the location and angle of incidence of the IS6 that the shot just hit, it is not that difficult to guess what kind of medicine these Germans are selling in their gourds and what they want to do.

"Pull the angle to offset the inclination defense? It's a good idea, but it's stupid!"

With a sinister smile on his face, Lavrinenko had a hunch that he would not be wrong. After all, the Germans had used similar tactics as early as 1941, and it was a tactic that could only work on defense. What he used back then was How similar is the situation you experienced personally to today?

Except for the fact that the models used by the two armies are completely different from what they used to be, the remaining details can be said to be almost identical.

"Attention, all crews! The Germans will try to attack our weak points when we cross the high ground. The top and bottom of the car body are their first choice targets! Try to go to the gentler terrain, and don't go directly across a large angle unless necessary. Slope, don’t expose your weakness to the enemy, remember!”

Lavrinenko and Malashenko both graduated from the Ulyanov Tank Corps Academy and came from serious professional backgrounds. When it comes to the professional terminology of armored soldiers, they naturally come up casually and are full of knowledge.

Based on the current actual situation, it only takes a few words to explain the current troubles we are facing and the corresponding methods to solve them clearly and clearly, and there is no need to worry about the elite Guards tank crews under my command not being able to understand. These professional terms, the elite teachers in the name of leaders are never just the crotch-pullers on the roadside.

After realizing that the Germans wanted to take the enemy by surprise, the crews rushing to the front to block damage immediately adjusted their formations according to Lavrinenko's orders.

Quickly and flexibly avoid those hilly and winding terrains with high angles and high undulations, and try to choose the relatively smoothest road in the surrounding terrain to continue charging, so as to reduce the moment of exposure of weak points when the relative height difference offsets the inclination.

In this case, the extremely excellent heavy tank mobility of the IS6 heavy tank once again played a huge role.

In the process of charging all the way to this point, it has already passed a long enough acceleration stroke, raising the cross-country speed to the top speed.

The German armored soldiers, who were still in a stunned state, just saw Soviet heavy tanks one after another, with outrageous maneuvers that were not like what heavy tanks could possess.

After just a few mechanical "dragon tail swing" and "lane changing and overtaking" maneuvers, they quickly avoided those high ground positions that had been estimated in advance and were considered to be excellent openings for firing.

The final result was that the Soviet heavy tanks at the front basically chose the smoothest road among the surrounding options and continued to move forward, directly destroying the German army's hope. The terrain-neutral equivalent armor tactic was crushed without mercy.

As the saying goes, laymen only watch the excitement, and experts watch the door. In the eyes of laymen, this is at best a temporary change in tactics and formations that improves the excellent mobility of heavy tanks. Colonel Klose, who has been holding a telescope and watching the battlefield closely, It seems that it is better to study in a university.

"These Russian guys are definitely not ordinary troops! They are skilled in tactical movements, have tacit cooperation, and respond quickly. They made changes as soon as they noticed our tactics, whether they were superior commanders, junior officers or even ordinary vehicle crews. This is something only the elite of Bai Zhan can achieve!”

This is the most real and cruel battlefield, with bullets flying and casualties every second. This is the most real purgatory on earth! It is not a military competition where the two militaries compare skills and trade with each other. You say "You are so awesome!" and I reply "You are even more awesome!"

The more elite the Soviet army on the opposite side is, the greater the trouble the German army will face.

The pressure was so great that it was hard to add to it and could no longer be accurately described in words. Colonel Klose was thinking of countermeasures quickly. His eyes were rolling and turning like hard-boiled eggs in a pot of boiling water. stop. The burning urgency no longer allowed him to waste any more time on thinking. The moment to make a decisive decision was only now.

"Inform the frontline troops to immediately leave their positions to launch a counterattack against the Soviet army, and gather all the remaining artillery fire to provide cover! All! Use all the mortars and the remaining self-propelled artillery, fire all the shells, and Leave no stone unturned!”

"The second-echelon troops and reserves, as well as all unengaged troops in the rear, retreat immediately! Abandon everything that cannot be taken away, and set fire to fuel, ammunition and other baggage that cannot be taken away! Execute the order!"

There is a story about a traveler who was in danger alone in the mountains. His arm was crushed by a falling boulder, and he was stuck in place unable to move. He complained that the sky was not responding and the earth was not working, and no one came to help him.

Should he stay here and wail and wait for death, or should he adopt some crazy and abnormal means to try to gain a chance of survival.

The traveler who resolutely cut off his arm that was pinned down by a boulder with a knife chose the latter, which requires great courage and determination.

What was left was an arm and a disabled body, but what he got in exchange was the ability to survive for the rest of his life.

Colonel Klose, who had no other choice at this point, had no choice but to cut off one of his arms to try to preserve the more important main body and survive.

Although this order sounded bloody and cruel, no one among the division bosses standing behind Colonel Klose dared to say "no". Raise objections in this life-and-death moment.

If you were sitting in that position, would you have the courage and determination to issue such an order?

I'm afraid the vast majority of people don't dare to pat their chests and say yes. Now is not the time to show off one's conscience and lie at will.

"Execute the order! All responsibilities will be borne by me alone. I swear by the honor of the military flag. I only hope that this prestigious and legendary force can survive this current catastrophe."

What came out of his mouth was the command that revealed a hint of indescribable sadness and helplessness in his perseverance.

The only thing left standing there was the body that seemed to have had its soul stripped away the moment he spoke the order.
