Chapter 211 Bury Them

The shocking explosion of ammunition not only completely frightened the German troops who were caught off guard by the sudden attack. The division commander Colonel Donskoy and his partner political commissar, who had already made up their minds to die, were also confused. The two men, who had no longer expected reinforcements, now saw those steel behemoths that symbolized the strength and hope of the Red Army rolling forward.

"Comrade Division Commander! It's reinforcements. Our comrades are here to reinforce us! That's our tank unit! It's the heavy tank unit that Commander Zhukov promised to reinforce us!"

Compared to his partner next to him who was almost biting his tongue in excitement, Colonel Donskoy, who felt as if he was in a dream, woke up quickly.

"Quick! Organize troops to meet the heavy tanks that cooperate with us and drive the Germans out of their positions. Those German paper tanks are no match for our heavy tanks. Take action!"

Through the binoculars in his hand, he saw that on the Soviet position that was already on the verge of collapse, a large number of Soviet heavy tank troops suddenly appeared to join the battle.

The German commander, who knew how difficult it was to deal with the heavy tanks in the hands of his opponent, the Soviet Union, immediately frowned. However, no matter how much he thought about it, the German commander was unwilling to let this stupid duck fly away, and finally issued the order. It won't be long before he makes a decision that he will regret deeply.

"Continue to increase the intensity of the attack and put all the reserve forces into the battlefield. We cannot let those Ivans drive us out of the position again! This is the moment of decisive battle!"

One party wants it anxiously, while the other party doesn't want to give it life or death.

The German and Soviet armies, which were unwilling to give in to each other, spent all their chips on a defensive position covering an area of ​​less than five square kilometers and launched a final fight like two red-eyed gamblers. .

The reserve troops on the German side had just entered the battlefield and had not yet had time to open a gap in the Soviet position. Even worse news that the German commander never expected followed.

The heavy tank battalion led by Malashenko, who roared with powerful diesel engines and took the lead in rushing to rush for emergency reinforcements, was only the tip of the iceberg of the Soviet army's subsequent reinforcements.

Although the 10th Infantry Division of the reserve, which was fully equipped and rushed to the front line to support Malashenko, set off urgently before Malashenko, this fully equipped infantry division was not as heavy as the tanks led by Malashenko, which had an independent organization. Like the battalion, it is flexible, fast and swift due to the realization of pure and complete mechanization.

The reserve 10th Infantry Division, which carries various technical equipment and heavy weapons piecemeal, runs almost purely on two legs. There are no extra trucks used to tow the division's artillery and heavy equipment, as well as carry supplies and ammunition. Freed to transport troops, the Soviet infantry division, whose mechanization level was basically at the same level as the German army at the same period, could only rely on the two legs of the infantry to run.

The reserve force, the 10th Infantry Division, which set off first but was relatively slow due to the organization of the infantry division, was quickly overtaken by the independent First Heavy Tank Breakthrough Battalion led by Malashenko, who was driving at full speed.

Because before leading the troops to set off, they had learned from the front army headquarters that a friendly heavy tank unit would come to assist with reinforcements.

After a brief meeting with Malashenko, the commander of the 10th Infantry Division of the reserve team decided to have an elite advance battalion under his command be mounted on the outside of the tank using the "tank knight" method most commonly used by Red Army infantry. The rapid mobility of the heavy tank battalion led by Malashenko went to support the battlefield as soon as possible.

The Red Army infantrymen, who used external plug-ins to squeeze the tank like an Indian Asan motorcycle, immediately jumped out of the vehicle as the tank decelerated and quickly entered the battle.

The injection of powerful fresh blood allowed the 21st Border Defense Division, which was already on the verge of collapse, to burst out with powerful offensive energy. After stopping to kill several leading German tanks, the KV1 heavy tanks immediately spewed out surging black diesel smoke again.

The steel body, which was far thicker and more powerful than the German tanks, continued to roll forward with the ear-numbing sound of steel tracks grinding.

It was never expected that the Soviet heavy tank troops would attack at such a moment of defeat. The German attacking troops that had already penetrated the Soviet defensive positions and captured a small area were immediately confused.

The only ground equipment that can pose an effective threat to the thick-skinned KV1 heavy tanks is currently the 88-gun. However, how could the German attack troops, who were the initiators of the attack in the lightly armed Jianxing, possibly attack these heavy and heavy tanks? The anti-aircraft artillery was pulled along with a half-track tractor. The words "unskilled" and "unable to do anything" are perfectly suitable to describe the current situation of the German attacking troops.

The weak and weak Panzer III tank was loaded with 50 mm small water pipes with the most powerful armor-piercing type 40 tungsten-core armor-piercing projectiles and fired continuously, but it was still unable to injure the heavy sloping armor on the front of the KV1 heavy tank body at all.

Hitting the armor on the sloping front of the KV1 heavy tank, ricochet bombs bounced away. The clanking sound of the Type 40 tungsten-core armor-piercing bullet was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely annihilating the German army's attempts to stop it. The last hope for these steel behemoths of the Red Army.

The KV1 heavy tank, roaring with full throttle, rushed into the position occupied by the Germans like a monster. It didn't take long for the KV1 heavy tank to turn its turret with all its strength, ignoring almost all anti-tank weapons at extremely close range. , and then fired into the soul of almost all the remaining German tanks on the position that were making useless resistance and called them one by one.

The cruel fact that even at zero distance could not penetrate the thick armor on the front of the KV1 heavy tank, while making the German troops on the position almost despair, it also greatly boosted the morale of the Red Army infantry who accompanied the attack.

"The thin-skinned tanks of the Fascist lackeys are no match for our Red Army cavalry! Crush their resistance without mercy, Ula!"

The German soldiers who could not understand what the Soviet political commissar was shouting across the way knew that this situation was definitely not good news for their own side.

The German soldiers, who had not received any order to retreat, abided by their duties and stood firm in their position. Even though the Soviet infantry launched a coordinated counterattack with infantry and tanks, they had already returned to the occupied position and started a bloody close combat with them, but they still refused to retreat. .

The repeated battles for the position, which really knocked the dog's brains out, had not yet completely decided the winner, but at this moment, a more passionate shout suddenly sounded again from the rear of the Red Army position.

"Bury these fascist lackeys! Comrades, Hurrah!"
