Chapter 518 Surprise in the Village

As one of Malashenko's most frequently foreseen opponents, the appearance of the Panzer IV tank has long been turned into ashes and will never be forgotten by Malashenko. However, what appears in Malashenko's periscope vision at this moment is This Panzer IV looks a little different.

A high-caliber main gun that is much longer than the original short-barreled main gun stands on the turret. The winter-painted armor that has not yet faded even has track pads attached to it for a little defensive effect. Four Four Even if the square shoebox shape turns into ashes, Malashenko will immediately recognize it as a standard Panzer IV tank.

"Fuck! You're 75 and 4, I'm going to catch you!"

The Panzer IV, which had obviously just been warmed up and started, had not yet fully raised its engine to top speed. The rickety body of the tank crushed the outer fence of a small courtyard, and the turret, which was driven purely by hand, was pushing the black hole into the tank. The mouth slowly pointed towards Malashenko.

"Damn it! Iushkin, kill it! Quick! This is the Germans' new tank!"

Iushkin, whose gaze was aligned with Malashenko's, also saw this new German tank. The overall appearance of the Panzer IV had not changed much but it was equipped with a new high-caliber main gun. ,

Guessing that such a long gun barrel would cause heavy damage to the vehicle even if it could not penetrate his own armor, Iushkin, who did not dare to show any signs of neglect, immediately turned the steering gear in his hand with a posture that could cripple his right hand. After roughly fine-tuning, Iushkin was convinced that he was aiming at the target and almost without hesitation stepped on the launch pedal.

boom--

The muzzle flash of lightning spit out in an instant was one step ahead. The German gunner who had just pointed the turret at Malashenko's car had no time to pull the trigger in his hand. The 85mm hooded armor-piercing bullet had already broken through the long car. The front of the Panzer IV tank is armored, with a 50 mm thickness of almost completely vertical rolled homogeneous steel armor penetrating through it like a slice of cream cake.

boom--

Before the smoke from the muzzle had cleared, there was a loud explosion. Although the TNT charge of just over 70 grams in the warhead was not much, it was more than enough to blast the ammunition rack of this Panzer IV tank. .

The violent explosion of ammunition lifted the turret carrying the KWK40 43 times caliber 75mm tank gun directly into the sky. The violent fire that erupted from the turret ring like a volcanic eruption was as bright as a solar flare. A car that had just officially The F2 Type IV tank that was put into production soon was killed by Malashenko on the spot without firing a single shot.

"Damn, I was scared to death. I thought it was a tiger coming when I saw this thing. Damn it."

Malashenko, whose heart was pounding, was indeed greatly shocked when he saw this German Panzer IV tank. The boxy shoebox shape and the door tube were elongated to a much higher magnification. The long-diameter 75mm tank gun looks a bit similar to the No. 6 Tiger heavy tank at first glance.

After getting rid of the German Panzer IV tank that was running rampant and hitting the muzzle of the gun, Malashenko realized that the situation he faced would definitely be much more complicated than imagined, and he made an immediate decision.

"Lavery, follow me! Go towards the place where the German tank just rushed over. The other cars continue to drive along the main road. Keep the radio open for contact at any time!"

The last available time is passing rapidly. The first German tank rushed out of the village, which is equivalent to indicating that more German tanks are doing or preparing to do the same thing. Malashenko must be in time for all this. Take one last chance before finishing.

The diesel engine with full throttle drove the heavy car body to smash through the fence and run over the wooden house. The roaring Malashenko car was the first to smash the head of the Panzer IV that fell to the ground and drove around the corner, but was followed closely. Everything that appeared in Malashenko's field of vision did not frighten the eyes of the comrade leader.

"God, how many tanks do these Germans have!?"

According to Malashenko's previous expectations, even if there were more German tanks in the village, they would only be forty or fifty vehicles per armored regiment. However, the scene that appeared before him completely overturned Malashenko's previous guesses. .

Two rows of neatly arranged Panzer III tanks were parked quietly in the open space in the center of the village. It was estimated that there were at least thirty tanks as far as the eye could see.

Opposite these Panzer III tanks, more than a dozen new Panzer IV F2 tanks were taking the time to take off their camouflage cloth and prepare to start the warm-up. Some of the German armored soldiers who were busy on the left and right of the tanks were only wearing vests. It was estimated that they were very... Maybe it was just after getting out of bed.

Farther away from these main German tanks, assorted reconnaissance tanks such as SDKFZ251 half-tracks and 35T\\38T were also listed. The number of German armored units in front of them clearly exceeded Malashenko's expectations.

"These bastards! They demolished all the houses in the middle of the village. It's like a German tank parking lot!"

The shocked Malashenko became more and more frightened the more he thought about it, the Germans actually hid such an elite armored force under the eyes of the Soviet army without being discovered! If we wait until the German army attacks first, it is obviously not difficult to guess what kind of unexpected effect this powerful German armored force can produce.

"Kirill, reload the armor-piercing ammunition! Iushkin, kill those Panzer IV tanks that are starting up first!"

Now that he has discovered the "stolen stronghold", Malashenko, who has already come to the door, is naturally unable to let these German tanks parked quietly in place. The best time to harvest people's heads is undoubtedly now.

"Damn it! It's Ivan's heavy tank!"

"God, how did they move so fast!?"

The German armored soldiers were so surprised that they were so surprised by the two Soviet steel behemoths that they almost cried out in fear. The camouflage cloth covered up to prevent them from being discovered by Soviet aerial reconnaissance became the worst trouble at the moment. These were tied up. The camouflage cloth wrapped around the top of the tank with ropes to prevent it from being blown away by strong winds cannot be removed in a short while.

Bullshit chivalry is not feasible on the cruel battlefields of the Patriotic War. Malashenko will not show mercy to these chaotic German armored soldiers just because they only wear vests. On the contrary, he will do everything possible to add insult to injury. Harvest as many heads as possible.

"Kirill, keep loading the armor-piercing shells, and don't stop until I give the order! Iushkin, the same goes for you! Blast all the tanks that the Germans can still move until they are useless!"

The efficiency of using the main gun and coaxial machine gun alone to kill the Germans was obviously too slow. Realizing that he had to do something, Malashenko immediately grabbed the Somi submachine gun next to him, raised his head and suddenly opened it. Overhead turret hatch.
