Chapter 453 Pursuit

The fight at the entrance of the village was in full swing, but Murao took the opportunity to slip out of a whole convoy. Even a fool could tell that the convoy was either filled with high-ranking German officials or carrying important secrets. Knowing that this situation was happening, Malashenko naturally cannot let it go as he happens under his nose. Intercepting this German convoy is Malashenko's only idea at the moment.

Fortunately, Malashenko received a batch of T3457 medium tanks from Comrade Lao Zhu before turning to attack in the direction of Tula.

Although these T3457 medium tanks have various shortcomings in the eyes of Malashenko, who admires heavy tanks, there is no doubt that the mobility of these T3457s is indeed far superior to that of the KV1. A grade.

Using the T3457, which has a very balanced key index of firepower, mobility, and protection, to intercept this German convoy is undoubtedly the best choice Malashenko faces right now.

Following Malashenko's resounding and firm order, a group of T3457s who had been following one's own heavy tanks as fire support men immediately launched into action.

The blue exhaust gas rushing out of the engine exhaust nozzle at the rear of the car roared and roared from the diesel engine. The T3457s, like wild horses, immediately rushed forward at great speed like an arrow from the string, with unstoppable ferocity. He rushed straight towards the German convoy that had just escaped from the end of the village.

Since these T3457s were not all equipped with wireless communication radios for inter-vehicle communication, the attack orders issued through Malashenko's mouth were conveyed through Lavrinenko's semaphore.

Although the process of issuing the order was delayed for a while, compared to wheeled vehicles whose maneuverability is greatly affected in cross-country snow conditions, the T3457 tank group that uses tracked cross-country maneuvers will undoubtedly have an advantage in snow passability. .

The deep snow surrounding the wheels made the German convoy that could have been galloping at an embarrassingly slow pace. With the advantage of starting first and a higher power-to-weight ratio, it should have left behind the belated Soviet T3457 tank group. .

However, the current bad off-road snow conditions are like a pair of invisible hands tightly holding the tires of the German convoy. The T3457 tanks roaring and charging all the way are like bloodthirsty wolves that are about to bite the butt of the German convoy. .

"Damn car! Move and run!"

He stuck his head out from the co-pilot position of a German iconic barrel truck, glanced at the Soviet tank group that was less than 500 meters behind him, and frowned.

The driver in the driver's seat next to him cursed in a terrible way. Seeing that he was about to be overtaken by a Soviet tank, Lieutenant Schlieffen immediately turned around and shouted loudly at the driver, who was fighting against the snow with his hands on the steering wheel. Open your mouth.

"Can't you just make this crappy car go faster?! Don't you usually drive pretty fast on dirt roads!?"

Faced with Second Lieutenant Schlieffen's yelling in a bad tone, the barrel truck driver, who was also full of complaints, directly yelled in reply with the same tone.

"I've tried my best! This is the fastest, Lieutenant Schlieffen! The car can't drive in the snow and mines. This damn winter is the Russian's best helper!"

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is not impossible to say that the Soviet winter helped the Soviet tank group that was pursuing them.

Tracked vehicles have better passability in cross-country snow conditions. This undoubted advantage makes the T3457 tank group, which is already known for its strong mobility, getting closer and closer to the German convoy.

Although they had received the order to capture the German convoy as completely as possible in the flag signal a few minutes ago, the Soviet tank soldiers, who basically drank a few taels of vodka to warm themselves up, would not patiently reason with the Germans. .

After several attempts to deliberately fire warning shots with blank guns in an attempt to force the German convoy to stop failed, the T3457 tank group, which was about to surround the German convoy with two-wing outflanking, immediately made an astonishing move.

"Aim at those German tires, I'm going to piss off these Nazi dogs!"

A bold Soviet tank commander was completely angered by the Germans' shady escape behavior. During the march, the turret slowly turned to the side of the German convoy through the hand-operated steering wheel, coaxial with the 57mm main gun. The juxtaposed 62mm vehicle-mounted DT light machine gun immediately burst out with a burst of fiery flames.

Da da da--

The sudden sound of firing frightened the German convoy, which had been trying to escape, to death.

The 62mm machine gun barrage fired at the tires of the German convoy with the intention of deflating them was not so accurate. The whole body of the T3457 tank, which was driving at high speed, was shaking as if suffering from Parkinson's disease. This portrait of an old man Putting aside whether the sunset red shooting skills on the side can deflate the tires, the tinkling sound of sparks hitting the door frame of the German army is enough to scare people half to death.

Scared to death by the Soviet army's inaccurate epileptic sweep shooting, some German convoy drivers who were already highly focused were momentarily distracted and immediately subconsciously stepped on the brakes to avoid the incoming machine gun fire. .

It didn't matter if I didn't do this subconscious move. An Opel Lightning truck in the middle of the group suddenly stopped and immediately caused a series of rear-end collisions. The following German truck and barrel truck, which were only a few meters away, immediately collided like bumper cars in an amusement park. The sky is dark and the earth is dark.

"Haha, what did I say? These Nazi dogs are less courageous than mice! You have to use violence to deal with them!"

The bearded Soviet commander immediately beamed after the successful attack, but then he discovered something that made him unhappy.

There were several German barrel trucks in the front of the convoy that were leading the way. Even if their comrades behind them were involved in a rear-end car accident, they had no intention of stopping. The energy of the crazy escape was more intense than that of a rat who saw a living person in the sewer. Even more so.

"These fascists, let them see how our Red Army treats deserters! Load high-explosive bombs!"

The commander who also served as the gunner was startled when he gave the order. Some of the confused Soviet loaders immediately asked in a slightly unbelievable tone.

"But, Comrade Commander, the order we received is not to fire directly at the German car. Using a machine gun is already out of bounds!"

"Damn it! Did you use your head to go to the toilet? If those German guys really ran away, they wouldn't be able to explain to comrade the regiment leader. Rather than letting them run away, it's better to hand over the body to complete the mission! This is an order, load it Cannonball!"

Before he finished speaking, he thought about it for a moment and it seemed that this was true. The loader immediately picked up the high-explosive bomb in the chassis of the vehicle and stuffed it into the breech.
